heal.abstractOBJECTIVES: We sought to prospectively and randomly compare survival with clinical and hemodynamic variables in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) treated with standard versus high doses of enalapril. BACKGROUND: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors produce hemodynamic and symptomatic benefits in patients with CHF, but there is still controversy about the optimal dose in this clinical setting. METHODS: Two hundred and forty-eight patients with advanced CHF (age 56.3+/-12 years) were randomized to receive a maximal tolerated dose of enalapril, up to 20 mg/day in group 1 (mean dose achieved 17.9+/-4.3 mg/day, n = 122) and 60 mg/day in group 2 (mean dose achieved 42+/-19.3 mg/day, n = 126). RESULTS: At enrollment, patients in group 1 were in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class 2.6+/-0.7 and had a mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 117+/-18 mm Hg, a mean heart rate (HR) of 85+/-16 beats/min and a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 20.0+/-9.8%. In group 2, patients were in NYHA class 2.6+/-0.7; their SBP was 118+/-17 mm Hg, HR 83+/-15 beats/min and LVEF 18.8+/-8.1%. There were no significant differences in these characteristics between the two groups of patients at enrollment. After 12 months of follow-up, 22 (18%) of 122 patients in group 1 and 23 (18%) of 126 patients in group 2 had died (p = 0.995, with 80% power of the study to detect a delta difference of 13%). The NYHA class was the same (1.9+/-0.7) in both groups; SBP was 111+/-16 and 111+/-17 mm Hg, HR 77+/-12 and 79+/-13 beats/min and LVEF 31+/-19% and 30+/-12% in groups 1 and 2, respectively. These differences were not statistically significant. The study had a power of 80% to detect (p = 0.05) the following changes: 13% in death rate, 0.25 units in NYHA class, 6 mm Hg in SBP, 5 beats/min in HR and 6% in LVEF. CONCLUSIONS: No significant differences were found in survival and clinical and hemodynamic variables between patients receiving standard and those receiving high doses of enalapril.en
