1) ACE- Angiotensin-Converting Enzymes
2) ARBs- Angiotensin II-Receptor Blockers
3) Calcium - Channel Blockers
4) Vasodilators
5) Renin Inhibitors

Question 2

Angiotensin-Converting Enzymes (ACE) Inhibitors end with

Answer 2

pril

Question 3

Angiotensin II-Receptor Blockers (ARBs) end with

Answer 3

sartan

Question 4

What do ACE inhibitors do?

Answer 4

antihypertensive agents that act in the lungs to prevent the conversion of angiotensin I into angiotensin II, which is a potent vasoconstrictor.

Question 5

Therapeutic Action of ACE Inhibitors

Answer 5

By preventing the production of angiotensin II which is a potent vasoconstrictor and a stimulator of aldosterone release, blood pressure is decreased with resultant loss of serum sodium and fluid but with a slight increase in serum potassium

Question 6

What can ace inhibitors be combined with?

Answer 6

Diuretics and Digoxin

What effect do ACE Inhibitors have on diabetic nephropathy?

Answer 7

decreased in stimulation of angiotensin receptors in the kidney will slow down the damage in the renal artery.
