Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors

Critical Care Nurse, 1990
This review focuses on the use of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in hypertensive diseases. Specifically discussed are: proposed mechanisms of action, the pharmacology of the commercially available ACE inhibitors (captopril, enalapril, and lisinopril), their renal effects, and their safety and efficacy.

COVID-19 and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers: What Is the Evidence?

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2020
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a current pandemic infection caused by a positive-sense RNA virus named the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The particularly infectious capacity of the virus, along with mortality rates

angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors

2012
More than 30 years since their discovery, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors still represent one of the most commonly prescribed medications for treating hypertension and one of the favored first-line agents, particularly in the presence of high-risk conditions, such as diabetes.

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors

Pharmaceutisch Weekblad Scientific Edition, 1982
Inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) in patients suffering from renovascular hypertension results in lowering of the blood-pressure. The development of captopril, an orally active ACE inhibitor and the structure-activity relationship of captopril analogues are described.

A Systematic Review of Outcomes Associated With Withholding or Continuing Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers Before Noncardiac Surgery

Anesthesia and Analgesia, 2018
BACKGROUND: The global rate of major noncardiac surgical procedures is increasing annually, and of those patients presenting for surgery, increasing numbers are taking either an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I) or an angiotensin receptor ...

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors

AACN Advanced Critical Care, 1992
The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors available today include Captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), enaloprilat (Vasotec IV), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), benazepril (Lotensin), fosinopril (Monopril), and ramipril (Atace). These drugs are used in the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors

2001
Publisher Summary Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors were first studied clinically in the 1970s. ACE inhibitors were discovered by taking advantage of previous basic research on the physiology of sodium, potassium, and water homeostasis and blood pressure regulation, in a reciprocal way ACE have also advanced research in this field, and ...

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors

Medical Clinics of North America, 1987
In summary, ACE inhibitors are effective in reducing blood pressure as initial therapy in some hypertensive patients and in combination with diuretics and other agents in virtually all hypertensives. ACE inhibitors are uniquely advantageous because of their favorable hemodynamic effects, the lack of adverse metabolic effects, and their ability to ...

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Glycosuria

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1992
Renal glycosuria associated with the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors has been previously reported in two patients. A third patient was studied who developed isolated glycosuria associated with lisinopril therapy. As in the two previously described patients, this patient had a normal serum glucose level, underlying hypertension, and ...
