What Experts Say

Cardiologists frequently prescribe this ACE inhibitor for patients recovering from a heart attack, since large trials have shown it lowers the risk of future cardiac events. It works by relaxing blood vessels, which eases the heart's workload. Many heart failure patients stay on it for years under regular monitoring and dose review.

Doctors usually start treatment at a low dose, especially in older patients or those with weaker hearts, to avoid a sharp drop in blood pressure. The dose is then raised gradually based on how well it is tolerated. Home blood pressure checks help track progress between clinic visits and guide any dose changes.

Kidney specialists also value this drug class for slowing kidney damage in people with diabetes and high blood pressure. Routine blood tests to check potassium and kidney function are a standard part of long term care. Most patients tolerate treatment well when followed up regularly and consistently.
