Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the Losartan Intervention For Endpoint reduction in hypertension study (LIFE): a randomised trial against atenolol.

TLDR
Losartan prevents more cardiovascular morbidity and death than atenolol for a similar reduction in blood pressure and is better tolerated, while new-onset diabetes was less frequent with losartan.

Effects of an angiotensin-converting -enzyme inhibitor, ramipril, on cardiovascular events in high-risk patients

TL;DR: Ramipril significantly reduces the rates of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke in a broad range of high-risk patients who are not known to have a low ejection fraction or heart failure.

Effect of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibition compared with conventional therapy on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in hypertension: the Captopril Prevention Project (CAPPP) randomised trial

TL;DR: Captopril and conventional treatment did not differ in efficacy in preventing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and the difference in stroke risk was probably due to the lower levels of blood pressure obtained initially in previously treated patients randomised to conventional therapy.

An updated coronary risk profile. A statement for health professionals.

TL;DR: Using a simple worksheet, a patient's 5- and 10-year CHD risks can be estimated using components of the profile selected because they are objective and strongly and independently related to CHD.

Effects of ACE inhibitors, calcium antagonists, and other blood-pressure-lowering drugs: results of prospectively designed overviews of randomised trials. Blood Pressure Lowering Treatment Trialists' Collaboration

TL;DR: Strong evidence of benefits of ACE inhibitors and calcium antagonists is provided by the overviews of placebo-controlled trials, and data from continuing trials of blood-pressure-lowering drugs will substantially increase the evidence available about any real differences that might exist between regimens.
