ACE inhibitors and ARBs are available in combination with other drugs. These combination drugs contain an ACE inhibitor or ARB along with another drug to lower blood pressure. They include several different brand and generic names. Typically, when hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is added to an ACE inhi...
ARBs and ACE inhibitors have similar effects but with different mechanisms. ARBs are medications that block the effects of the chemical called angiotensin II. These medications reduce high blood pressure levels by dilating blood vessels and allowing the blood to easily flow. Doctors often prescribe ...
ACE inhibitors and ARBs (angiotensin II receptor blockers) are medications often prescribed to treat conditions such as heart failure, high blood pressure and ischemic heart disease. They can cause overexpression of ACE2, meaning there is more of the enzyme on cell surfaces. Initially, there were...
Blood Pressure Control: Antihypertensive medications (ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers) are key in managing vascular health in hypertensive individuals. 6.3 Surgical or Interventional Procedures Carotid Endarterectomy: Surgical removal of plaque in the carotid artery, indicated for severe stenosis. ...

Many patients undergoing contrast-based radiological investigations are treated with angiotensin converting inhibitors (ACE-Is) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) for their cardiac and renal benefits and their known mortality benefits. However, controversy exists among clinicians as to whether ACE-Is...
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) also help open blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Medical professionals even prescribe statins to treat microangiopathy. Statins control cholesterol, as cholesterol levels contribute to the narrowing of small...
Another possibility is that the higher risk comes not from high blood pressure itself, but from certain drugs used to treat it --ACE inhibitorsand angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). This theory may come from research that suggests these types of medications weaken the body’s immune cells....
Currently available anti-atherosclerotic pharmacotherapy includes mainly lipid-lowering agents, namely statins, fibrates, cholesterol-absorption inhibitors and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK-9) inhibitors [59]. Antiplatelet and antihypertensive drugs are also prescribed. 3.1. Statins Stati...
