Some studies suggest that the sympathetic nervous system and the renin-angiotensin system are activated in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), potentially resulting in negative cardiopulmonary and muscular effects. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the efficacy of an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor on cardiopulmonary exercise performance in COPD patients. Primary outcome was the effect of treatment on the ventilatory response to exercise (VE/VCO(2) slope). Secondary outcomes were exercise variables evaluated by the cardiopulmonary exercise test, and pulmonary function according to ACE genotyping.
