Implication

May inform perioperative ACE inhibitor preference over ARBs; leaves open confirmation via randomized trials.

Structured PICO

Population

Patients with arterial hypertension, cardiac insufficiency, coronary artery disease, and renal diseases undergoing anesthesia and surgery

Intervention

Renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists)

ACE inhibitors may be preferred over ARBs in the perioperative setting due to additional cardio- and renal protective effects from kinin accumulation.
