Best Answer

ACE stands for Angiotensin Converting Enzyme. Angiotensin II is the most potent vasoconstrictor in your body. In order to get from Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II, there is an enzyme required for this reaction to occur. ACE inhibitors are used to treat high blood pressure (and congestive heart failure) and they exert their effect by blocking the enzyme.
