Serious concerns have been raised about angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition in pregnancy. The central question remains: does toxicity of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition pertain to pregnant humans?
A prospective, placebo-controlled study was performed to investigate the effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition on pregnancy outcome in the baboon. Subjects (N = 12) received active and placebo treatments sequentially in a crossover protocol. Data were analyzed with two-sample t tests, analysis of variance, Fisher's exact test, or Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, where appropriate.
Chronic administration of enalapril (7.5 mg per day) from before conception achieved moderate but sustained angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition as determined by repeated measures of renin-angiotensin system parameters (serum angiotensin-converting enzyme activity, plasma renin activity and plasma angiotensin I, angiotensin II, and aldosterone concentrations). Serum angiotensin-converting enzyme activity was significantly reduced throughout (< 10 nmol.ml-1.min-1, p < 0.01), with significant increases in plasma renin activity and angiotensin I (p < 0.01). Angiotensin II and aldosterone were maintained unchanged compared with placebo. There was a significant incidence of fetal death or intrauterine growth retardation in fetuses exposed to enalapril (eight of 13, zero on placebo, p < 0.01). When the definition of adverse pregnancy outcome was restricted to fetal death alone (four of 13) the difference remained significant (p < 0.05). Maternal arterial pressure was unchanged before conception, but a small and significant fall (10 to 15 mm Hg, p < 0.01) was detected throughout pregnancy. There was no fetal malformations.
The study provides definitive evidence for serious consequences of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition in pregnancy of high-order primates.
人们对孕期使用血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂提出了严重关切。核心问题依然存在:血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂对孕妇是否有毒性?
进行了一项前瞻性、安慰剂对照研究,以调查血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂对狒狒妊娠结局的影响。受试者(N = 12)按照交叉方案依次接受活性药物和安慰剂治疗。在适当情况下,使用双样本t检验、方差分析、Fisher精确检验或Kaplan-Meier生存分析对数据进行分析。
从受孕前开始长期给予依那普利(每天7.5毫克),通过对肾素-血管紧张素系统参数(血清血管紧张素转换酶活性、血浆肾素活性以及血浆血管紧张素I、血管紧张素II和醛固酮浓度)的重复测量确定,实现了中度但持续的血管紧张素转换酶抑制。整个孕期血清血管紧张素转换酶活性显著降低(<10纳摩尔·毫升⁻¹·分钟⁻¹,p<0.01),血浆肾素活性和血管紧张素I显著升高(p<0.01)。与安慰剂相比,血管紧张素II和醛固酮保持不变。暴露于依那普利的胎儿出现胎儿死亡或宫内生长受限的发生率显著(13例中有8例,安慰剂组为0例,p<0.01)。当不良妊娠结局的定义仅限于胎儿死亡时(13例中有4例),差异仍然显著(p<0.05)。受孕前母体动脉压未改变,但整个孕期检测到有小幅但显著的下降(10至15毫米汞柱,p<0.01)。未发现胎儿畸形。
该研究为血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂在高等灵长类动物孕期产生严重后果提供了确凿证据。
