New Approaches to Blockade of the Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System: Evidence From Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin II–Receptor Blockers — Questions Remain Unsolved

Recent randomized controlled trials showed that blockade of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II–receptor blockers (ARBs) reduced cardiovascular and renal events. These drugs are widely used in the management of cardiovascular and re...
