1 We therefore investigated whether cilazapril, a structurally new and long-acting ACE inhibitor, interacts with angiotensin I-dependent changes in splanchnic haemodynamics in man, using an experimental model. Cilazapril angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
2 The angiotensin I dependent increase in systemic and pulmonary resistance and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure was attenuated by cilazapril, as indicated by the shift of the dose-response curves to the right. Cilazapril angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
3 These angiotensin I induced haemodynamic changes were clearly suppressed by cilazapril. Cilazapril angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
4 We conclude that, in man, the influence of cilazapril on acute angiotensin I-mediated haemodynamic responses is present in the splanchnic vascular bed, and that the overall effects of cilazapril are consistent with both arterial and venous effects of the ACE inhibitor. Cilazapril angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
5 Cilazapril effectively counteracts angiotensin I-induced splanchnic vasoconstriction. Cilazapril angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
