HOPE: New validation for the importance of tissue ACE inhibition
The results of the recently published HOPE (Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation) study provide powerful confirmation of the clinical benefits of tissue angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition, now strikingly demonstrated in patients at high risk for cardiovascular events.
1
This important trial is the latest in a series of carefully conducted studies supporting the hypothesis that tissue ACE inhibition is a key factor in decreasing morbidity and mortality due to coronary disease.
