Why the study?
Does ramipril improve carotid arterial wall dynamics and energetics in hypertensive patients?
Does ramipril improve carotid arterial wall dynamics and energetics in hypertensive patients?
ACE inhibition with ramipril improves carotid wall energetics and stress in hypertensive patients, potentially reducing extra load to the heart.
