  • Title: 24-hour activity of lisinopril: clinical advantage in blood pressure control.
    Author: Whelton A.
    Journal: Cardiology; 1991; 79 Suppl 1():10-5. PubMed ID: 1655261.
    Abstract:
    We have conducted a multicentre study in patients with mild to moderate hypertension. Lisinopril monotherapy, 10, 20, or 40 mg once daily (n = 35), was compared with captopril monotherapy, 25, 50, or 100 mg twice daily (n = 35). Blood pressure assessments were conducted using both office and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Area under the curve analysis of ambulatory blood pressure reductions demonstrated significant differences between once-daily lisinopril and twice-daily captopril, with lisinopril producing the most significant reduction in pressure. These therapeutic results reflect the clinical-pharmacological profile of these two angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and provide important clinical implications.
