A number of studies have shown that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are beneficial in reducing symptoms and prolonging life in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). In the event of a heart attack, ACE inhibitors can be used to lower blood pressure and help lower mortality in people who sustain significant damage to their heart muscle.
Common ACE inhibitors include:
- Enalapril (Vasotec)
- Lisinopril (Zestril)
- Quinapril (Accupril)
