The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of two CEI: captopril and perindopril on reperfusion arrhythmias and noradrenaline 3H (NA3H) release in the isolated rat heart on arrhythmias in pentobarbitone anaesthetized rats subject to left coronary artery ligation. In vitro, in control preparations, reperfusion after 10 min of local ischemia produced by coronary ligation was accompanied by a sudden release of NA3H in coronary flow and long lasting ventricular arrhythmias. Reperfusion arrhythmias were prevented by perfusion medium containing a high dose of CEI and CEI did not change the patterns of NA3H release. In vivo, mortality due to ventricular fibrillation was significantly reduced in rats pretreated with captopril or perindopril 15 min prior to coronary ligation. CEI reduced the severity of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and fibrillation (VF).

Article Synopsis
  • * The study investigated the effects of combining angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) with L-dopa in a mouse model of PD to see if it could reduce these negative side effects.
  • * Results showed that using ACEIs like perindopril, captopril, and enalapril alongside L-dopa significantly reduced the development of L-dopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) and decreased certain inflammatory markers in the brain of PD-affected mice.

Studies have shown that angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are superior in primary and secondary prevention for cardiac mortality and morbidity to angiotensin receptor blocker (ARBs). One of the common side effects from ACEI is dry cough. The aims of this systematic review, and network meta-analysis are to rank the risk of cough induced by different ACEIs and between ACEI and placebo, ARB or calcium channel blockers (CCB).

Angiogenesis is an important exercise-induced response to improve blood flow and decrease vascular resistance in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), but some antihypertensive drugs attenuate this effect. This study compared the effects of captopril and perindopril on exercise-induced cardiac and skeletal muscle angiogenesis. Forty-eight Wistar rats and 48 SHR underwent 60 days of aerobic training or were kept sedentary.
