Hypertension develops in the animals, and they die by age 7 weeks of heart and kidney failure. Three groups were studied: dTGR (n=12) receiving vehicle, dTGR receiving ECE inhibitor (RO0687629; 30 mg\/kg by gavage; n=10), and Sprague-Dawley control rats (SD; n=10) receiving vehicle, all after week 4, with euthanasia at week 7. Systolic blood pressure was not reduced by ECE inhibitor compared with dTGR (205\u00b16 versus 206\u00b16 mm Hg at week 7, respectively). In contrast, ECE inhibitor treatment significantly reduced mortality rate to 20% (2 of 10), whereas untreated dTGR had a 52% mortality rate (7 of 12). ECE inhibitor treatment ameliorated cardiac damage and reduced left ventricular ECE activity below SD levels. Echocardiography at week 7 showed reduced cardiac hypertrophy (4.8\u00b10.2 versus 5.7\u00b10.2 mg\/g,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;0.01) and increased left ventricular cavity diameter (5.5\u00b10.3 versus 3.1\u00b10.1 mm,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;0.001) and filling volume (0.42\u00b10.04 versus 0.16\u00b10.06 mL,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;0.05) after ECE inhibitor compared with untreated dTGR. ECE inhibitor treatment also reduced cardiac fibrosis, tissue factor expression, left ventricular basic fibroblast growth factor mRNA levels, and immunostaining in the vessel wall, independent of high blood pressure. In contrast, the ECE inhibitor treatment showed no renoprotective effect. These data are the first to show that ECE inhibition reduces angiotensin II\u2013induced cardiac damage.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.hyp.0000039748.88581.a0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,12,5]],"date-time":"2002-12-05T21:43:15Z","timestamp":1039124595000},"page":"840-846","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Endothelin-Converting Enzyme Inhibition Ameliorates Angiotensin II\u2013Induced Cardiac Damage"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Dominik N.","family":"Muller","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From HELIOS Klinikum-Berlin, Franz Volhard Clinic and Medical Faculty of the Charite\u0301, Humboldt University of Berlin (D.N.M., A.M., R.D., A.F., B.P., F.C.L.);
