“Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors were associated with an increased risk of stroke outcomes (11 percent increased risk of combined fatal and nonfatal hospitalized stroke) compared with diuretics, and this effect persisted well beyond the trial period.”

This didn’t cover ARBs, which are a newer option to ACE-Inhibitors. However, it is known ARBs do have fewer side effects than ACE-Inhibitors.

As for what was in the study, the other outcomes between the three were similar, outside of stroke issues with ACE-Inhibitors.
