Excerpt
In this comparative effectiveness review, we examine the scientific literature on angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARBs, or angiotensin receptor blockers) for individuals with hypertension regarding their relative benefits (blood pressure control, cardiovascular risk reduction, cardiovascular events, quality of life, and other outcomes), as well as relative risks (safety, adverse events, tolerability, persistence, and adherence). In addition, we will examine the clinical determinants of these outcomes with a focus on the long-term impact.

- Key Question 1. For adult patients with essential hypertension, how do ACEIs and ARBs differ in blood pressure control, cardiovascular risk reduction, cardiovascular events, quality of life, and other outcomes?
- Key Question 2. For adult patients with essential hypertension, how do ACEIs and ARBs differ in safety, adverse events, tolerability, persistence, and adherence?
- Key Question 3. Are there subgroups of patients based on demographic characteristics (age, racial and ethnic groups, sex), use of other medications concurrently, or comorbidities for which ACEIs or ARBs are more effective, associated with fewer adverse events, or better tolerated?
- 4. Summary and Discussion
- 5. Future Research
