Abstract
The incidence of enalapril-induced cough was evaluated in 199 patients with congestive heart failure. Cough was more frequent in class I or II patients (28%) than in class III (4.1%, p<0.01) and class IV (0%, p<0.01) patients. Brain natriuretic peptide level was lower in patients in the cough (+) group than in the cough (-) group (170+/-107 vs. 538+/-637 pg/ml, p<0.01). The incidence of enalapril-induced cough is low in patients with severe congestive heart failure and a cough can be a marker of non-severe heart failure.Entities:
