Background We undertook a prospective systematic overview based on data from individual patients from five long-term randomised trials that assessed inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in patients with left-ventricular dysfunction or heart failure.Methods Three of the trials enrolled patients within a week after acute myocardial infarction. Data were combined by use of the Peto-Yusuf method.Findings Overall 12 763 patients were randomly assigned treatment or placebo and followed up for an average of 35 months. In the three post-infarction trials (n=5966), mortality was lower with ACE inhibitors than with placebo (702/2995 [23.4%] Vs 866/2971 [29.1%]; odds ratio 0.74 [95% CI 0.66-0.83]), as were the rates of readmission for heart failure (355 [11.9%] vs 460 [15.55%]; 0.73 [0.63-0.85]), reinfarction (324 [10.8%] vs 391 [13.2%]; 0.80 [0.69-0.94]), or the composite of these events (1049 [35.0%] vs 1244 [41.9%]; 0.75 [0.67-0.83]; all p
