Abstrakt: The authors describe the case of a 70-year-old female patient with ischaemic heart disease with an implanted pacemaker on account of sick-sinus syndrome, who after classical treatment with diuretics and cardiotonics suffered from frequent relapses of global decompensation of the circulation. After administration of the ACE inhibitor--Tensiomin--within a very short time (days) normalization of all indicators of previously severe congestion was found. During the subsequent follow up no relapse of decompensation occurred. The patient was shifted from stage IV to stage II in the functional classification of ischaemic heart disease according to NYHA.
