Effects of Centrally Acting Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors on Functional Decline in Patients with Alzheimer's Disease
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Centrally acting angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (CACE-Is) are associated with reduced rates of cognitive decline in patients with dementia. CACE-Is may also improve exercise tolerance in functionally impaired older adults with normal cognition, suggesting that CACE-Is may positively influence activities of daily living (ADL) in dementia.
