Abstract
Treatment of patients with hypertension and comorbidities is a major challenge requiring individualized pharmacotherapy. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors play a vitally important role in treating cardiovascular diseases. Their effectiveness is not only due to their effects on blood pressure alone but also because of additional protective influence on vital organs. The article discusses practical indications for the use of one of their representative – lisinopril. Numerous trials showed the remarkably consistent clinical benefit of lisinopril in patients with arterial hypertension, heart failure, in the early phase of acute myocardial infarction, and patients with diabetes mellitus and coexisting renal complications.
