Abstract
The results demonstrate that ACE inhibition can improve arterial elasticity and hence risk of cardiovascular complications even in normotensive diabetics. This short treatment was effective only in younger patients with type 1 diabetes, suggesting that early initiation of therapy before the onset of advanced structural alterations is likely to be more cardioprotective.
