HOPE:Conclusions

In people with high risk for CVD,
addition of ramipril to other effective
therapies prevents:
CV death, strokes and MI
 Total mortality
 Revascularization
 Diabetic nephropathy



The benefit is independent of the effect
on BP (3/2 mmHg)
The only adverse event is a 5% excess of
cough
HOPE: Implications for CHD



ACE-I with ramipril reduced events in most
groups
Treating 1,000 patients with ramipril for four
years prevents about 150 events in
approximately 70 patients
HOPE suggests ACE-I should be used like
aspirin, for prevention of vascular events in
high risk subjects

EUROPA Study Hypothesis

In selected patient groups (high CV risk or
LV dysfunction), ACE-I results in secondary
prevention of coronary disease

However, the multiple ways by which ACE
inhibition affects the atherosclerotic process,
suggest that it might occur in all patients
with coronary disease

Selection Criteria

Male or female > 18 years of age

 Shortness of breath and fatigue
 Reduced exercise tolerance
 Marked symptoms at rest despite
maximal medical therapy (eg, those
who are recurrently hospitalized or
cannot be safely discharged from the
hospital without specialized
interventions)
Carvedilol is indicated for use in patients with mild to severe chronic HF and in patients with HTN.

• Treat

• All measures

• All measures
under stage A
• Treat lipid

• ACE inhibitors in
appropriate
patients
Drugs:
• Encourage
regular exercise
• Discourage
alcohol intake
• ACE inhibition for
vascular disease
or diabetes
• Beta-blockers in
appropriate
patients
• Diuretics
• ACE inhibitors
• Beta-blockers
• Digitalis
• Aldosterone
antagonist
• All measures
under stages A,B,

• Mechanical assist
devices
• Heart
transplantation
• Continuous (not
intermittent) IV
inotropic
infusions for
palliation
• Hospice care
Abraham WT,et al. ACC/AHA Guidelines CHF, 2005.
Conclusions
• The relationship between RAAS and diabetic
vascular disease is well established
• Cumulative evidence supports ACE inhibitors for
a broad range of CAD patients
• Not all ACE inhibitors can be assumed to have
comparable effects on vascular protection
– Medication adherence and dosage
are important
• Evidence-based medicine should guide use ACE
inhibition (ramipril 10 mg) in patients with
diabetes and vascular disease
