Whether angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have any clinically significant antiatherogenic effects in humans remains unproven. We undertook a prospective randomized clinical trial of 98 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) to examine the efficacy of ACE inhibition with enalapril for preventing intima-media (IM) thickening of the carotid wall as measured ultrasonographically.
