Summary
The goal of this proposal is to investigate the potential for ACE-inhibitors (ACE-I)(drugs
primarily used to treat hypertension or congestive heart failure) to prevent or delay
cardiovascular disease (CVD) in older adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) by examining
their impact on aortic stiffness in people with stage 3 CKD in a randomized, controlled
study.
