Popis: Congestive heart failure is frequently associated with an increase in peripheral resistance induced by stimulation of the renin angiotensin system and of the sympathetic nervous system. The clinical, biological and hemodynamic effects of Captopril (SQ 14225), an oral inhibitor of angiotensin converting enzyme, were measured in 20 patients with heart failure poorly controlled by digitalis,diuretics and vasodilator therapy. After two months of Captopril administration from 150 to 250 mg per day, NYHA functional class improved from 34 to 206 (P
