Abstract: AIM: To explore the effect of the combination of captopril and losartan on the sICAM-1, sVCAM-1, TNF-α, and TGF-β in the patients with coronary heart disease.METHODS: sICAM-1, sVCAM-1 and TGF-β were measured with ELISA, and TNF-αwas measured with RIA in the patients with or without the treatment of captopril and losartan.RESULTS: sICAM-1 and TNF-α decreased, and TGF-β increased distinctly in the patients given a combination of captopril and losartan compared with patients without the drugs.sVCAM-1 had the tendency of decrease in combined therapy, but no significant difference showed compared with the control patients. .CONCLUSION: The combination of captopril and losartan has the effects on the cell adhesion molecules and cytokins in patients with coronary heart disease.

Key words: captopril, losartan, cell adhesion molecules, cytokins, coronary heart disease
