Abstract: Eighteen patients with heart failure were studied to clarify whether angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor treatment improves excess ventilation during exercise. Treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors had a beneficial effect on excess ventilation during exercise, without significant improvement in exercise capacity in patients with moderate congestive heart failure.
