Disease Features angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors
Absence or low individual and public risk
Angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors - what does this mean
Angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ace inhibitors) are medications used to treat high blood pressure and other cardiovascular conditions. they work by blocking the action of an enzyme called angiotensin-converting-enzyme, which helps regulate blood pressure by narrowing the blood vessels. by blocking this enzyme, ace inhibitors relax the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more freely and reducing blood pressure.
What happens during the disease - angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors
Angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors work by blocking the enzyme responsible for converting angiotensin i to angiotensin ii. by blocking this enzyme, the levels of angiotensin ii in the body are lowered, which helps to relax the blood vessels and reduce blood pressure. this reduces the workload of the heart and helps to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To reduce the production of angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE)
- Prescribe ACE inhibitors such as lisinopril, enalapril, and captopril.
- Monitor blood pressure regularly.
- Educate patients on lifestyle changes such as reducing sodium intake, increasing physical activity, and quitting smoking.
- Prescribe diuretics to reduce fluid retention.
- Prescribe angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) such as losartan, valsartan, and candesartan.
- Prescribe calcium channel blockers such as amlodipine, diltiazem, and verapamil.
- Monitor kidney function.
11 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors - Prevention
The best way to prevent angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors is to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and regular blood pressure monitoring. additionally, it is important to take any medications prescribed by your doctor as directed and to avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
