Details Below:
Enalapril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that has anti-
hypertensive effects. It is an appropriate choice of antihypertensive in GL as
ACE inhibitors are preferred drugs in diabetic patients. It is very important that
diabetic patients have their blood pressure very well controlled as these
patients have multiple risk factors towards the development of cardiovascular
disease. Also both long-standing uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes
increase the risk of kidney damage. GL had a myocardial infarction two years
earlier. ACE inhibitors have a cardioprotective effect in patients at high risk of
cardiovascular disease, including those who suffered a myocardial infarction.
