title: [Captopril in the treatment of heart failure].
abstract: The inhibitor of angiotensin converting enzyme played in recent years a significant role in the treatment of cardiac failure. Captopril administration to patients after myocardial infarction prevents enlargement of the left ventricle and its dysfunction. This leads to a reduced mortality and fewer relapses of infarction even in patients with asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction.
