OBJECTIVES We compared the effects of perindopril and losartan on endothelium-dependent coronary vasomotor and fibrinolytic function.BACKGROUND The renin-angiotensin system regulates the vascular fibrinolytic balance. However, the effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonists on coronary fibrinolytic function have not been compared in hypertensive patients.METHODS Forty-five patients with hypertension were randomly assigned to three groups: 16 patients were treated with perindopril (4 mg/day) for four weeks; 15 were treated with losartan (50 mg/day) for four weeks; and 14 were not treated with either perindopril or losartan (control group). Graded doses of bradykinin (BK) (0.2, 0.6, and 2.0 mug/min) were administered into the left coronary artery. Coronary blood flow (CBF) was evaluated by Doppler flow velocity measurement.RESULTS Bradykinin induced dose-dependent increases in CBF in all groups. The increases in CBF induced by BK in the perindopril and losartan groups were significantly greater than those in the control group. Net coronary tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) release was enhanced by BK in all groups, and the increase in the perindopril group was greater than that in the losartan and control groups. Bradykinin did not alter plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 levels in any of the groups.CONCLUSIONS Perindopril and, losartan similarly augment BK-induced coronary vasodilation. Perindopril may have a greater potential to enhance the BK-induced coronary release of t-PA than losartan. (C) 2003 by the American College of Cardiology Foundation.
