Increased adhesiveness of white blood cells in patients with unstable angina: additional evidence for an involvement of the immune-inflammatory system.

abstract：:Recent investigations have indicated that chronic heart failure can be reversed with agents that inhibit the reninangiotensin-aldosterone or sympathetic nervous system, such as angiontensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and beta blockers. A meta-analysis of clinical trials of ACE inhibition in chronic heart failu...
