Short-term hemodynamic effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition in patients with severe aortic stenosis

Background In patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors has previously been considered contraindicated. However, there is a lack of clinical evidence to confirm these potential hemodynamic risks and benefits. Methods Forty-four patients with s...
