Prolonged use of ramipril prevents stroke
Ramipril reduces the incidence of stroke in patients at high risk,
despite an only modest reduction in blood pressure. Bosch and
colleagues (p 699) report that the relative risk of any stroke was
reduced by 32% in patients receiving ramipril compared with placebo,
and the relative risk of fatal stroke was reduced by 61%. These
benefits are observed even when patients received aspirin and other
treatments lowering blood pressure.
