Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers in Acute Coronary Syndrome: Implications for Platelet Reactivity?

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIn patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are preferred over angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). However, in a recent pilot study, treatment with ACE inhibitors was associated with increased platelet reactivity compared to ARBs. Therefore, we sought to investigate the impact of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockade with ACE inhibitors and ARBs on platelet aggregation in patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
methodsOn-treatment residual platelet reactivity in response to arachidonic acid (AA), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), SFLLRN, AYPGKF, and collagen was assessed by multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA) in 197 ACS patients on dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and either prasugrel or ticagrelor.
resultsOne hundred sixty-five (83.7%) patients were treated with ACE inhibitors, 32 (16.3%) with ARBs. On-treatment residual AA- and ADP-inducible platelet reactivity was significantly higher in patients with ACE inhibitors (both p < 0.05). Likewise, SFLLRN was significantly higher in patients with ACE inhibitors (p = 0.036) and there was a trend for higher AYPGKF- and collagen-inducible platelet reactivity (p = 0.053 and p = 0.082). The incidence of high on-treatment residual platelet reactivity AA was significantly higher in patients with ACE inhibitors (52 [31.5%] vs. 3 [9.4%] patients; p = 0.019).
conclusionACE inhibitors are associated with increased on-treatment residual platelet reactivity in ACS patients with potent DAPT. Further clinical trials are needed to elucidate the role of RAAS blockade with ACE inhibitors and ARBs in ACS patients treated according to current standards.
