What does ACE inhibitor blocks?

Answer 1

ACE inhibitors block ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme), an enzyme that converts angiotensin1 to angiotensin2. Angiotensin2 is a potent vasoconstrictor. Thus ACEI reduces the production of angiotensin2, thereby reducing blood pressure.

Answer 2

An ACE inhibitor (short for Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme inhibitor) is one of a class of blood pressure-lowering drugs, which cause the arteries to widen by preventing the synthesis on angiotensin.

Answer 3

ACE inhibitors are used in the treatment of high blood pressure
