Clinical TrialAngiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and pulmonary hypertension.
To evaluate the efficacy of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors Enalapril, Fosonopril and Moexipril on mean and systolic pulmonary artery pressure. ⋯ the quantitative estimation revealed the considerable reduction in pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) (from 46.3 +/- 3.3 mmHg at baseline to 32.1 +/- 2.6 mmHg after treatment, p < 0.01) and MPAP - from 26.7 +/- 3.2 mmHg at baseline to 23.2 +/- 2.6 mmHg after treatment, p
