Among the drugs most widely employed used to lower blood pressure are the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. |
We restricted our analyses to loop diuretics, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, blockers, spironolactone, and digoxin. |
This class of receptors includes the angiotensin, bradykinin and vasopressin receptors. |
It inhibits formation of renin into angiotensin, the last is a biologically active substance with vasoconstrictor and hypertensive effects. |
The underlying mechanisms by which angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors prevent vascular events have been discussed widely. |
Moller and colleagues, for example, recently found increased angiotensin II and aldosterone in patients with sleep apnea. |
