Any drug used in the treatment of congestive cardiac failure (CCF) that work by inhibiting the formation of the vasoconstrictor, angiotensin?

These drugs lowers arteriolar resistance and increases venous capacitance; increase cardiac output and index, stroke work and volume; lower renovascular resistance and lead to increased natriuresis (excretion of sodium in the urine).
