ACE and myocardial infarction: Patients hospitalised with incident HF were older; more likely to be male; more likely to be recruited in Scotland or Ireland; more likely to have had a previous myocardial infarction, angina, or claudication; more likely to have been on ACE inhibitors or anti‐arrhythmic therapy at baseline; and had lower eGFR, lower DBP, and raised NT‐proBNP (Table1).
