title: [The effect of captopril on the progression of heart insufficiency].
abstract: We conclude from our studies and data from the literature that ACE inhibitors belong to the proper basic therapy of cardiac failure because of their marked influence on progression and death by pump failure. The therapeutic gain per 100 patients treated for one year exceeds that of other medications used commonly for secondary prophylaxis.
