Focuses on the importance of antihypertensive medications in patients with chronic kidney disease. Benefits of antihypertensive therapy for cardiovascular disease; Renal effects of ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ABR); Effect of ACE inhibitors and ARB on the progression of kidney disease...
APRIL 1, 2020 -- The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has issued a statement advising that patients continue treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors andangiotensin II receptor blockers(ARBs), despite widely circulated reports that the agents could worsen coronavirus disease. "It ...
Berger and co-workers have retrospectively analyzed data from more than 2,000 such patients in the population-based Minnesota Heart Survey, stratified by glomerular filtration rate, to investigate the relationship between use of these two medications and all-cause mortality....

Introduction: Underutilization of evidence-based medications in patients (pts) with HF has been previously described; however, little is known about the use of beta blockers (BBs) or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and a... PJ Hauptman,J Swindle,TE Burroughs - 《Journal of Card...
Some medications, such as tissue plasminogen activator, have a higher incidence of angioedema with potential airway compromise than ACE inhibitors, although this fact is widely underappreciated. In this review, we aim to summarize what is currently known and recommended about concomitant medication in ...
It is worth mentioning that the blocking of the AT1R has been shown to have a favorable effect in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury [21,22]. The antihypertensive effects of RAAS blockade are also partly determined by the ability of both ACE inhibitors and ARBs to increase the circulating...
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) are medications that slow (inhibit) the activity of the enzyme ACE, which decreases the production of angiotensin II. As a result, blood vessels enlarge or dilate, and blood pressure is reduced. ...
Importantly, however, there is no clinical or experimental evidence supporting that ARBs and ACEIs either augment the susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 or aggravate the severity and outcomes of COVID-19 at present. Until further data are available, it is recommended that ARB and ACEI medications be ...
This article discusses the possibility that ACE inhibitors and ARBs, by virtue of their effects on ACE or angiotensin II function, respectively, have performance-enhancing capa. bilities; it also reviews the data on the effects of these medications on VO 2max , muscle composition and endurance ...
