Beneficial effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and nitrate association on left ventricular remodeling in patients with large acute myocardial infarction: the Delapril Remodeling after Acute Myocardial Infarction (DRAMI) trial.
    American heart journal, 2003, Volume: 146, Issue:1

    In the large-scale trial, Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio della Sopravvivenza nell'Infarto Miocardico-3 (GISSI-3), patients receiving the combination of lisinopril and glyceryl trinitrate benefited most from experimental therapy. Therefore, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind study, Delapril Remodeling After Acute Myocardial Infarction (DRAMI), was designed to assess (1) the possible additive beneficial effect on left ventricular remodeling of nitrates when combined with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), and (2) the tolerability of a new ACEI, delapril, in respect to lisinopril in patients with large myocardial infarction (MI).. A total of 177 patients were randomized to receive delapril plus isosorbide-5-mononitrate (IS5MN) placebo, delapril plus IS5MN, lisinopril plus IS5MN placebo, or lisinopril plus IS5MN starting within the first 36 hours after the onset of symptoms and continuing for 3 months.. More than 80% of the patients showed extensive ST-segment changes and 36.7% had signs or symptoms of heart failure during the first 36 hours. Over 3 months, IS5MN reduced, by 76%, the increase in LVEDV (17.4 +/- 5.0 mL placebo vs 4.2 +/- 4.4 mL IS5MN, P =.0439), reversed the increase in LVESV (7.5 +/- 3.9 mL placebo vs -5.5 +/- 2.9 mL IS5MN, P =.0052), and increased the recovery of LVEF (1.9% +/- 1.3% placebo vs 6.7% +/- 1.2% IS5MN, P =.0119). Overall, 3-month mortality was 10.2%; the most frequent clinical events were new episodes of severe heart failure (18.1%), persistent hypotension (10.7%), and post-MI angina (18.1%), with no differences between treatment groups.. Administration for 3 months of IS5MN combined with an ACEI, both started within 36 hours from the onset of symptoms, was safe and effective in reducing LV dilation and dysfunction after MI. The 2 ACEIs, delapril and lisinopril, appeared to be equally well tolerated.

An angiotensin II receptor antagonist attenuates left ventricular dilatation after myocardial infarction in the hypertensive rat.
    Cardiovascular research, 1995, Volume: 29, Issue:6

    The aims were (1) to investigate the effect of hypertention on left ventricular dilatation and haemodynamic alterations following acute myocardial infarction in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive rats (WKY); (2) to compare haemodynamic indices between the two groups; (3) to assess whether the angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist (AIIA), TCV-116, prevented left ventricular dilatation after myocardial infarction; and (4) to compare the effect of AIIA with that of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, delapril.. Myocardial infarction was produced in SHR and WKY by coronary artery ligation. Haemodynamic measurements were obtained three weeks later in rats that had been treated from the next day after the operation for three weeks with TCV-116 (1 mg.kg-1.d-1) or delapril (1 g.litre-1 in drinking water), and in untreated controls.. After myocardial infarction, left ventricular weight, and left ventricular weight were greater in SHR than in normotensive rats. Right ventricular weight, left ventricular end diastolic pressure, and LVEDVI correlated positively with infarct size in both SHR and WKY and these slopes were steeper in SHR than in WKY (P < 0.05). TCV-116 and delapril each significantly attenuated the increases in left ventricular end diastolic pressure, left ventricular weight, right ventricular weight, and LVEDVI following myocardial infarction in both in WKY and SHR, and shifted pressure-volume curve significantly to the left.. Hypertension accelerates left ventricular dilatation and haemodynamic alterations following myocardial infarction in rats. These effects are attenuated by an angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist as well as by an ACE inhibitor.

Contribution of cardiac renin-angiotensin system to ventricular remodelling in myocardial-infarcted rats.
    Journal of molecular and cellular cardiology, 1993, Volume: 25, Issue:11

    To investigate the contribution of the cardiac renin-angiotensin system to ventricular dilatation after myocardial infarction, we examined the effects of 3-week treatments with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, delapril, and a selective angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonist, TCV-116, on haemodynamics and ventricular angiotensin II contents in myocardial-infarcted rats. TCV-116 reduced mean aortic pressure, and prevented the increase of right and left ventricular weight, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and volume of myocardial-infarcted rats, to a similar extent to delapril. Thus, AT1 receptor-mediated action of angiotensin II plays a central role in the development of ventricular dilatation. Angiotensin II contents in the right and non-infarcted left ventricles (6.0 +/- 1.0 and 5.9 +/- 0.7 pg/g tissue, respectively, mean +/- S.E.M.) of myocardial-infarcted rats were not different from those of sham-operated rats. However, angiotensin II contents in the infarcted scar (21.7 +/- 3.5 pg/g) of myocardial-infarcted rats were 4.2-fold higher than those in the left ventricle of sham-operated rats. Delapril reduced angiotensin II contents in the right and non-infarcted left ventricles, and the scar by 48, 81 and 60%, respectively, but did not reduce plasma angiotensin II in myocardial-infarcted rats. TCV-116 also decreased angiotensin II in the right and non-infarcted left ventricles by 57 and 56%, respectively, while increased plasma angiotensin II by 4.3-fold. Thus, the prevention of ventricular dilatation by these two agents was associated with the decrease in ventricular angiotensin II contents. These observations suggest that the cardiac renin-angiotensin system rather than the circulating system may play an important role in ventricular dilatation after myocardial infarction.
