[The hemodynamic effect of Capoten in patients with myocardial infarct complicated by heart failure].

Capoten was used in the treatment of 28 patients with macrofocal myocardial infarction associated with marked acute cardiac insufficiency. 1.5 hours following intake of 6.25 mg of Capoten the arterial pressure reduced, the general peripheral vascular resistance, left ventricle filling pressure also reduced and this was accompanied by a reduction of rate of cardiac contractions, increase of cardiac ejection. No side effects related to Capoten treatment were observed.
