Acute blood pressure response to trandolapril and captopril in patients with left ventricular dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction.

Objective: Our purpose was to compare the blood pressure response to short-term treatment with captopril or trandolapril in patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group study was performed. Treatment was initiated 3 to 10 days after the onset of symptoms.
