Background—The aim of this study was to examine whether angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition improves coronary endothelial dysfunction in patients with atherosclerosis and its risk factors and whether this was related to theACEinsertion-deletion(I/D)polymorphism.Methods and Results—In 56 patients with atherosclerosis or its risk factors, we studied endothelium-dependent responses with acetylcholine and endothelium-independent function with sodium nitroprusside, before and after ACE inhibition with enalaprilat. Enalaprilat did not alter either resting coronary tone or vasodilation with sodium nitroprusside. However, it potentiated the coronary microvascular and epicardial responses with acetylcholine; coronary blood flow increased from 82±7 to 90±8 mL/min (P=0.05) after enalaprilat. Patients with depressed endothelial function (P<0.001) and those withACE DDorIDgenotypes (P=0.002) but not those homozygous for theIallele had the greatest improvement by multivariate analysis. Similarly, acetylcholine-mediated epicardial vasomotion improved in segments that initially constricted (endothelial dysfunction): from −10.1±1% to −1.4±2% (P<0.001) after enalaprilat. No augmentation was observed in segments that dilated (normal endothelial dysfunction) with acetylcholine. Patients with theDallele, hypercholesterolemia, and smokers (allP<0.05) had greater improvement.Conclusions—Acute ACE inhibition improves coronary epicardial and microvascular endothelium-dependent vasomotion in patients with atherosclerosis or its risk factors who have endothelial dysfunction and presence of theDallele.
