Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition improves venous endothelial dysfunction in chronic smokers.
Clin Pharmacol Ther. 1999; (3): 295-303
In arteries and veins smoking is associated with impaired nitric oxide-mediated relaxation to endothelium-dependent agonists such as bradykinin. We investigated whether acute local angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition, achieved by enalaprilat, could influence bradykinin-induced vasodilation in veins of smokers.
