Renin-Angiotensin Inhibition in Diastolic Heart Failure and Chronic Kidney Disease

BackgroundThe role of renin-angiotensin inhibition in older patients with diastolic heart failure and chronic kidney disease remains unclear.MethodsOf the 1340 patients (age≥65 years) with diastolic heart failure (ejection fraction≥45%) and chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate<60 mL/min/1.73 m2), 717 received angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers. Propensity scores for the use of these...
