Scientific Evidence

Quinaprilum is an ACE inhibitor that works by blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor. This action leads to vasodilation and decreased blood pressure, making it effective in the management of hypertension and heart failure.

Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of quinaprilum in reducing blood pressure and improving cardiac function in patients with heart failure. Research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology showed a significant reduction in mortality and hospitalizations in patients treated with quinapril compared to placebo.
