Abstract
Several large-scale trials have demonstrated improved survival with the administration of ACE-inhibitors to patients with a recent myocardial infarction. Many ACE-inhibitors with different pharmacological properties have been shown to be safe and effective. More recently the data provided by the Survival of Myocardial Infarction Long-term Evaluation (SMILE) program indicate that zofenopril may favorably affect the prognosis of patients with a recent myocardial infarction and, according to the results of the SMILE-4 study, it may be superior to ramipril with respect to some variables (cardiovascular hospitalizations) when both these ACE-inhibitors are administered combined with acetylsalicylic acid.
