To evaluate the influence of the angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor enalapril (2.5 to 40 mg per day) on the prognosis of severe congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] functional class IV), we randomly assigned 253 patients in a double-blind study to receive either placebo (n = 126) or enalapril (n = 127). Conventional trea...

... Pharmacological approaches to the treatment of heart failure (HF) have changed dramatically over time. Beginning with the pivotal clinical trials that demonstrated significant efficacy of conventional HF drugs such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin II receptor blockers (ACEis/ARBs), beta blockers (BBs), and mineral corticoid antagonists (MRAs) in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) [1][2][3], newer agents such as angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitors (ARNis), sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is), hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (HCN) blockers, soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulators, and selective cardiac myosin activators, have been reported to provide additive benefits to conventional HF drugs [4][5][6][7][8]. ...
