Method for rehabilitating the vasorelaxant action of the coronary arteries impaired through atherosclerosis or hypercholesterolemia employing an ace inhibitor

摘要

A method is provided for rehabilitating or restoring the vasorelaxant action of the endothelium impaired by atherosclerosis and/or hypercholesterolemia, thereby preventing arteriospasm in the coronary arteries using an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor such as captopril, fosinopril, ceranapril, enalapril or lisinopril, which may be administered by oral or parenteral dosage forms.
