Used primarily in the management of hypertension, this compound helps lower blood pressure by inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), leading to vasodilation and reduced cardiac workload. It is also employed in the treatment of heart failure, where it improves survival rates and reduces hospitalization by decreasing ventricular remodeling. Due to its long duration of action, it allows for once-daily dosing, enhancing patient compliance. Its active metabolite provides consistent inhibition of ACE, contributing to stable control of blood pressure throughout the day.
