Medical uses include:
* High blood pressure
* Congestive heart failure
* Following heart attack in people with evidence of heart failure
* People over 55 years at high risk: prevention of heart attack, stroke, cardiovascular death, or in need of revascularization procedures
* Prevent the onset and/or delay the progression of diabetic kidney disease, with or without proteinuria. Randomized trial evidence suggests that a maximum tolerable dose prevents cardiovascular events and death in patients with diabetic kidney disease.
