Overview

The Collaborative Group on ACE Inhibitor Trials demonstrated significant reduction in total mortality and hospitalization with the administration of ACEIs that was consistent among wide range of patients.[1]

ACE Inhibitors

Indications for ACE Inhibitors Use

1. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is ≤ 40%

or

2. There is a prior history of myocardial infarction (MI)

Background

Dosing

  • ACE-Is should be uptitrated to the maximum tolerated recommended doses.
  • Uptitration can be done gradually every 4 to 6 weeks.
ACE-I Starting dose Target dose
Captopril 6.25 mg t.i.d. 50 mg t.i.d.
Enalapril 2.5 mg b.i.d. 10-20 mg b.i.d.
Lisinopril > 2.5-5 mg daily 20-35 mg daily
Ramipril > 2.5 mg b.i.d. 5 mg b.i.d.
Trandolapril > 0.5 mg daily 4 mg daily

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors in Patients Presenting With Heart Failure (DO NOT EDIT) [4][5]

Class I

1. The clinical strategy of inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system with ACE inhibitors (Level of Evidence: A), OR ARBs (Level of Evidence: A), OR ARNI (Level of Evidence: B-R) in conjunction with evidence-based beta blockers, and aldosterone antagonists in selected patients, is recommended for patients with chronic HFrEF to reduce morbidity and mortality. (Class I, Level of Evidence: A)

2. The use of ACE inhibitors is beneficial for patients with prior or current symptoms of chronic HFrEF to reduce morbidity and mortality. (Class I, Level of Evidence: A)

Class III (No Benefit)
"1. Routine combined use of an ACE inhibitor, ARB, and aldosterone antagonist is not recommended for patients with current or prior symptoms of heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). (Level of Evidence: C) "
