Popis: The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is an ever-evolving endocrine system with considerable checks and balances on the production and catabolism of angiotensin peptides most likely due to the manifold effects of angiotensins. We aimed to explore the effects of different inhibitors of RAS on blood pressure and expression of inflammatory factors in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). We initially searched PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library electronic databases with nine eligible randomized controlled trials enrolled. Direct and indirect evidence was combined to calculate the weighted mean difference value and draw surface under the cumulative ranking curves. The results demonstrated that, compared with placebo and enalapril, ramipril had a better effect on reducing systolic blood pressure after short-term usage of drugs (
