Experimental group
Control group
Drug: Ramipril The initial dose of ramipril is 2.5 mg /d. The blood pressure, blood potassium and blood creatinine is measured every 1-2 weeks. If the blood pressure is normal, the dose of ramipril is adjusted to 5 mg /d after 2 weeks. If the blood pressure is low, the dose of ramipril is reduced to 1.25 mg /d until the blood pressure becomes normal, otherwise, stop ramipril using. If the blood potassium is high (>5.5mmol/L), the dose of ramipril is reduced to 1.25 mg /d until the blood potassium becomes normal, otherwise, stop ramipril using. If the blood creatinine is higher before therapy (≥30%), the dose of ramipril is reduced to 1.25 mg /d until the blood creatinine becomes normal, otherwise, stop ramipril using.
No angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and other renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (including angiotensin II receptor antagonists, etc.) treatment.
