Predictors of ACEI/ARB therapy in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy : results of a national registry

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Introduction: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) are not considered disease-modifying drugs in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and their use is usually dependent on other clinical indications. Few data exist about the use of ACEI/ARB in HC in the real world, particularly in patients with intraventricular obstruction. Objective: In this study, we sought to determine the frequency of ACEI / ARB therapy in patients with HCM and the predictors for their use.
