Key result
A 2-month converting enzyme inhibition treatment with trandolapril reduced systolic blood pressure, left ventricular mass, and QT interval in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Why the study?
Does converting enzyme inhibition with trandolapril reduce QT interval and left ventricular mass in spontaneously hypertensive rats?
Does converting enzyme inhibition with trandolapril reduce QT interval and left ventricular mass in spontaneously hypertensive rats?
In a rat model of pressure overload, converting enzyme inhibition with trandolapril successfully reduced both left ventricular mass and the associated prolonged QT interval.

Supports ACEI effects on LVH-QT coupling in hypertensive models; leaves open human translation.
Baillard et al. (2000) studied Hypertension and pressure-overloaded hearts. Trandolapril (converting enzyme inhibition) vs. Age-matched Wistar rats / Baseline was evaluated on QT interval, systolic blood pressure, and left ventricular mass. A 2-month converting enzyme inhibition treatment with trandolapril reduced systolic blood pressure, left ventricular mass, and QT interval in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
