Abstract

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) play a key role in therapy of cardiovascular diseases including patients with acute coronary syndromes. One of the most interesting ACEI due to high lipophilicity and pleiotropic activity is zofenopril. In this article, we present the current state of knowledge regarding the use of zofenopril in myocardial infarction concerning the guidelines of European Society of Cardiology.
