ACE-I Indications
o High blood pressure
o Heart failure
o Post heart attack
o Myocardial infarction (MI) = heart attack
o Kidney protection in diabetes (Nephropathy = kidney disease, Renal = kidney)
ACE-I Adverse Effects
Common
- Dry cough (increase in bradykinin)
- Low blood pressure (hypotension; Too low: Dizziness, faintness, fatigue)
- Increased serum creatinine (SCr) (Marker of kidney function)
- Elevated potassium (hyperkalemia)
- Increase in SCr and hyperkalemia are typically high when people 1st start the drug
Serious
- Angioedema (Higher chance in African Americans)
ARB Adverse Effects
Common
- Low blood pressure (hypotension; Too low: Dizziness, faintness, fatigue)
- Increased serum creatinine (SCr) (Marker of kidney function)
- Elevated potassium (hyperkalemia)
- Increase in SCr and hyperkalemia are typically high when people 1st start the drug
Serious
- Angioedema (Decreased Risk!)
- Dry cough should NOT occur!
ACE-I Drug Interactions
- Should not be administered with ARB or Renin Inhibitor
- Caution with potassium supplements and potassium-sparing drugs (spironolactone, triamterene)
- Should not administer with an NSAID (ibuprofen, naproxen; reverse activity on blood flow in the kidney)
ACE-I & ARB Patient Counseling
- Counsel on signs of dry, hacky cough
- Counsel women of child bearing age about risk of fetal harm and contraception
- Counsel patients on signs and symptoms of angioedema (Go to ER immediately if occurs)
- Monitor potassium intake if potassium levels are high on ACE-Is or ARBs
