Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors
Latest published update: 30 Jul 2026Exam Points3
View all →Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors: classification
ACE inhibitors suppress conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II and reduce degradation of bradykinin.
Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors: mechanism
Reduced angiotensin II lowers vasoconstriction and aldosterone signalling. Efferent arteriolar dilation can reduce intraglomerular pressure.
Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors: safety
Cough, hyperkalaemia, hypotension, a rise in creatinine and rare angioedema are class-defining concerns.
