Scope note

  • A class of drugs whose main indications are the treatment of hypertension and heart failure. They exert their hemodynamic effect mainly by inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system. They also modulate sympathetic nervous system activity and increase prostaglandin synthesis. They cause mainly vasodilation and mild natriuresis without affecting heart rate and contractility.

History note

  • 88; ANGIOTENSIN I-CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITOR was see TEPROTIDE 1991-93
