In patients with myocardial infarction (MI)-induced heart failure, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are proven effective therapy in inhibiting the progression towards overt heart failure. However, the prognosis in these patients is still very poor, and optimisation of therapy is warranted. The antihypertensive and renoprotective effects of ACE inhibitors (ACE-Is) can be substantially enhanced by dietary sodium restriction. In line with the latter, the aim of the present study was to explore whether dietary sodium restriction enhances the efficacy of ACE-I after MI.
