CRD SUMMARY:

This review concluded that renin-angiotensin system inhibitors were not associated with reduced mortality or heart failure-related hospitalisations in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction. Due to the possibility of missed trials, lack of reporting of review methodology and lack of quality assessment of included data, the authors' conclusions should be treated with caution.
