Dataset Available: The
Studies of Left Ventricular Dysfunction (SOLVD)
This study was initiated in 1986 primarily to evaluate the effects
of enalapril, an ACE inhibitor, on long-term mortality and major
morbidity in a group of patients with left ventricular dysfunction.
Two large, separate trials were run concurrently as part of SOLVD.
In the prevention trial, a significant reduction in the incidence
of heart failure and the rate of related hospitalizations was
observed for patients in the enalapril arm. A statistically significant
reduction in mortality was not observed in the enalapril treatment
arm; however, there was a trend toward fewer total deaths and
deaths due to cardiovascular causes among the enalapril patients.
An
Archive of the current and past issues
