Why the study?
Does ACE inhibitor treatment reduce IL-6 concentrations after CABG in patients undergoing elective first time CABG?
Does ACE inhibitor treatment reduce IL-6 concentrations after CABG in patients undergoing elective first time CABG?
ACE inhibitor treatment is associated with a blunted IL-6 inflammatory response following CABG, suggesting a potential anti-inflammatory mechanism for their clinical benefit.
