Neurohumoral excitatory state results from abnormality of baroreflexes and reduced
tonic restraint of baroreflexes leads to neurohumoral excitation.

and modulate systemic vascular resistance, plasma catecholamines, and plasma renin
activity.

Previous studies have reported that cardiopulmonary baroreflexes are depressed after
acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and improve gradually from the initial impairment.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors improve survival of AMI

and have been shown to modify cardiopulmonary baroreflexes in patients with congestive
heart failure.

However, the effect of ACE inhibitors on cardiopulmonary baroreflexes in patients
with AMI is yet to be determined. Therefore, the present study was performed to evaluate
the effect of the ACE inhibitor quinapril on cardiopulmonary baroreflexes in patients
with AMI.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
