title: Angiotensin inhibitors and other vasodilators with special reference to congestive heart failure.
abstract: ACE inhibitors have emerged as important pharmacologic agents for treatment of hypertension and heart failure. Attenuation or inhibition of angiotensin mediated vasoconstriction appears to be the principal mechanism for the reduction of arterial pressure and systemic vascular resistance.
