title: [The use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors in left ventricular dysfunction (the generalization of the experience of multicenter studies)].
abstract: The lecture highlights the results of a 10-yr experience gained with the clinical trial of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) in patients presenting with left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) on an international multicentre basis. The results obtained and conclusions drawn from the above megatrial were employed in giving guidelines on ACEI use in a clinical setting in different categories of LVD patients.
