Follow-up results of the CONSENS U S trial [Sec JlIl'ha/'ll/iJ 5CJ:!: ~, :!() .lUll 198"] '", suggest that the reduction in mortalit), /b)' enalapril/ correlates with the inhibition of neuroendocrine actil'ation and of the renin-angiotensin s),stem in particular',

Then: was a s igmlicant positive correla tion between mortality and baseline levels of adrenaline . noradrenaline. angiotensinamide. aldosterone and atrial natriuretic factor in patients with severe congestive heart failure who received placebo (n = 126) in addition to co nventional therapy. This correlation was not found in patients who received titrated dosages of enalapril 2.5-40mg (127) . Survival was significantly improved in enalapril recipie nts compared with placebo recipients at follow-up a fter 8 months (48 I'S 32%) and 2 years (30 I'S

21 %). respectively. Mortality was significantly higher in patients with hyponatraemia or high creatinine levels and enalapril therapy significantly improved survi val in these patients.
