  14. MI occurrence in ARB trials

  15. Incidence of AMI in ONTARGET No statistical difference between groups,but …

  16. Atheroma formation and progression:a struggle between death and regeneration • Endothelial cells undergo suicide (apoptosis) and regenerate • When a mismatch occurs, the endothelium loses its continuity ACS Atherosclerosis

  17. ACE activity and endothelial function • 90% of ACE is a tissue enzyme present in the heart and vessel ( endothelium and smooth muscle ) • CAD up-regulates tissue ACE and alters the balance between: Angiotensin II Bradykinin which, in turn, impairs endothelial function

  18. ENDOTHELIAL FUNCTION Biologic end-points: • eNOS activity • % of apoptosis Clinical end-points: • Vasomotion to endothelial dependent stimulation (Ach, Bradykinine, etc) • von Willebrand factor

  19. 1.0 09 0.8 0.7 PERTINENT substudy (1175 pts) von Willebrand factor Significant prognostic role CAD PERTINENT patients Low (142% / Unit) baseline 1 year 300 p <0.01 200 High (>142% / Unit) outcome Normal Range (44-158) vWf(%/Unit) p<0.01 100 0 0 1 2 3 4 Placebo Perindopril Placebo Perindopril Years

  22. Endothelial apoptosis and atherosclerosis Normal rateof apoptosis: 3% Excess rate of apoptosis Endothelium continuity Maintenance ofendothelial layer Onset of atherosclerotic Protection against atherosclerosis Plaque erosion and rupture

  23. WHY ? • Different tissue affinity • Different effects on the bradykinine (anti-apoptoic) angiotensin (pro-apoptoic) • Specific effects on typical apoptoic inducer: TNF- (ANTI) bradykinine angiotensin (PRO)

  24. ACE activity Affinity Km~1x10-4M Catalytic rate kcat~10 sec Affinity Km~1x10-6M Catalytic rate kcat~1 sec ACE Enzyme Reaction Rate ~ 50 times faster Bradikynin, and not Angiotensin I, is the “natural” substrate for ACE

  29. RAS Blockade reduces the incidence of diabetes

  30. Effect of Lisinopril in pts with AMI GISSI-3 Study

  32. Incident diabetes in clinical trials of antihypertensive drugs: a network meta-analysis Elliott WJ, et al. Lancet 2007;369(9557):201-7

  33. RAS blockade reduces the incidence of atrial fibrillation (?)

  35. Time to first recurrence of AF (n. 1442) GIS GISSI-AF Valsartan: 371/722 (51.4%) Placebo: 375/720 (52.1%) Adjusted* HR 0.99 96%CI 0.85-1.15 P value 0.84 * The 96%CI was calculated by Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for ACE-I, amiodarone use, cardioversion, PAD, CAD

  36. RAS Blockade improves renal function

  37. Modulatori RAS a confronto • ACE-I hanno avuto spazi di applicazione • più aperti e successi più consolitati • efficacia simile (bradichinina può essere un plus) • Tollerabilità simile (in qualche trial ARB in vantaggio) • Associazione ACE-I + ARB non vantaggiosa • (occasionalmente dannosa)

  38. Evidence-based recommendations for the blockers of the RAAS Hypertension ACE-I or ARBs Heart failure ACE-I ARBs if ACE-I not tolerated ACE-I plus ARBs Myocardial infarction ACE-I or ARBs Combination not recommended Renal dysfunction ACE-I or ARBs Combination??? Prevention of CV events ACE-I or ARBs Combination not recommended Atrial fibrillationPrimary prevention: ??? Secondary prevention: not recommended Prevention of diabetes ACE-I? ARBs? Both ?

  39. The fallacy of surrogate end-point: Albuminuria • In ONTARGET albuminuria was reduced by a combination of telmisartan and ramipril, but serum creatinine and dialysis rate doubled. • In a diabetic subgroup (~ 700 pts) with overt (≥ 300 mg/g creatinine) proteinuria and fast loss of GFR, dual RAS blockade had no significant effect on renal outcome.

  41. Ratio of means (95% CI)* forchange in proteinuria, by randomized therapy, over two follow-up intervals Kunz R et al. Ann Intern Med 2008; 148:30-48

  42. ARBs in Secondary Prevention • Superior to placebo?YES /NO • More effective than ACEi?NO • Less effective than ACEi?NO • Equal than ACEi?YES • Should be used with ACE?NO

  43. ARBs in Heart Failure • Superior to placebo?YES • More effective than ACEi? NO • Less effective than ACEi? NO • Equal than ACEi?YES • Should be used with ACE? NO / YES but only to reduce hospitalisation
