ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers and endothelial injury in COVID‐19
Journal of Internal Medicine, 2020 COVID‐19 is caused by the coronavirus SARS‐CoV‐2, which uses angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE‐2) as a receptor for cellular entry. It is theorized that ACE inhibitors (ACE‐Is) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) may increase vulnerability to SARS‐
