- W2022224095 abstract "Coronary artery disease and its sequelae remain the most important cause of morbidity and mortality in Western countries. Because the pathophysiologic characteristics of coronary artery disease are multifactorial, impairment of endothelial function featuring enhanced vasoconstriction, increased platelet vessel wall interaction, adherence of monocytes, migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells are crucially involved. Endothelial cells release numerous vasoactive substances regulating function of vascular smooth muscle and trafficking blood cells such as nitric oxide (NO), which is a potent vasodilator also inhibiting cellular growth and migration. In addition, NO possesses antiatherogenic and thromboresistant properties by preventing platelet aggregation and cell adhesion. These effects are counterbalanced by endothelial vasoconstrictors such as angiotensin II and endothelin-1. In the blood vessel wall, the local vascular effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and calcium antagonists are synergistic. ACE inhibitors diminish the conversion of angiotensin I into angiotensin II and the inactivation of bradykinin. Calcium antagonists counteract angiotensin II and endothelin-1 at the level of vascular smooth muscle by reducing Ca 2+ inflow and facilitating the vasodilator effects of NO. In hypertensive animals, long-term combination therapy with verapamil and trandolapril is particularly effective in reversing endothelial dysfunction. Further, ACE inhibitors and calcium antagonists exert beneficial vascular and complementary hemodynamic effects. Whereas ACE inhibitors inhibit the renin-angiotensin system and reduce sympathetic outflow, calcium antagonists dilate large conduit and resistance arteries. Because small vessels appear to be more dependent on extracellular Ca 2+ than larger vessels, nifedipine and verapamil effectively inhibit endothelin-induced vasoconstriction in vitro and in vivo in the resistance circulation. Long-term treatment with ACE inhibitors substantially reduces morbidity and mortality rates in patients with left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction; beneficial effects of verapamil in secondary prevention are confined to patients with normal left ventricular ejection fraction. In summary, long-term combination therapy of ACE inhibitors and calcium antagonists might provide beneficial effects in cardiovascular disease because they exert synergistic hemodynamic, antiproliferative, antithrombotic, and antiatherogenic properties.
