Angiotensin-based Medications for High Blood Pressure

Angiotensin-based Medications for High Blood Pressure

Angiotensin-based medicines sit at the center of modern high blood pressure treatment. The angiotensin-based medications most people hear about in consultations with their doctors are ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). Both lower blood pressure by targeting the renin-angiotensin system, which helps the body tighten blood vessels and hold fluid. The big picture is simple: angiotensin makes vessels tighten; […]
