Racial Analysis of Patients With Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Heart Failure and/or Left Ventricular Dysfunction Treated With Valsartan, Captopril, or Both L. Michael Prisant, Kevin L. Thomas, ...Eldrin F. Lewis, Zhen Huang, Gary S. Francis, W. Douglas Weaver, Marc A. Pfeffer, John J. V. McMurray, Robert M. Califf, Eric J. Velazquez African Americans have a high incidence of heart failure (HF). Limited retrospective observational subgroup analyses of patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) suggest marginal benefit of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors in the prevention of HF hospitalizations or total mortality in African Americans. We found that African Americans sustaining an acute myocardial infarction with LVSD and/or HF had similar clinical outcomes compared with white Americans. Valsartan, captopril, or the combination had comparable effects on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in African Americans and white Americans.
