| Abstract |
To analyze the published data on the role of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin II-receptor blockers (ARBs) in secondary prevention of AF. Some post-hoc analyses from trials in different clinical scenarios suggested the efficacy of ACEIs and ARBs in the prevention of new onset atrial fibrillation (AF), while their efficacy in preventing AF recurrences is notably controversial. |
