Abstract

The blood pressure-lowering dose-response relationship for angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors is assumed to flatten at doses higher than those conventionally used in clinical practice. However, existing clinical trial data do not adequately address the haemodynamic effects of high ACE inhibitor dosages. Therefore, we examined the blood pressure responses in patients presenting to hospital following a deliberate ACE inhibitor overdose.
