The angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor zofenopril has been shown to possess cardioprotective effects toward myocardial damage induced by chronic doxorubicin treatment in the rat. In the present study we have investigated the relationship between cardioprotection exerted by 2 angiotensin converting

Angiotensin (Ang)II, the effector arm of the locally active renin-angiotensin system (RAS), modulates Tissue Factor (TF), the principal initiator of blood coagulation and a key promoter of atherothrombotic events. Consistent with that knowledge, previous data showed inhibitory properties of angiotensin-converting

Cough is the most common symptom reported by patients in a primary care setting and is one of the most frequent secondary effects recorded during treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. The aim of the current study was to analyze

We investigated whether acute and chronic administration of zofenopril, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, may modulate the expression of genes which are involved in the pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia and heart failure. We used an acute and a chronic model.
