Abstract
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are increasingly import ant in antihypertensive therapy because of their efficacy, tolerabilit y, and specific benefits in subsets of patients. They are pharmacologi cally diverse. Whereas most benefits have been proven with older agent s (captopril, enalopril), newer agents, such as benazepril, quinapril, and ramipril, offer potential advantages that remain to be proven.
