About ACE Inhibitors (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors)—High Blood Pressure Medication
ACE inhibitors stop the body from converting a chemical in your body called angiotensin I into a chemical called angiotensin II.
 |
 |
Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to narrow. This raises your blood pressure. |
|
|
|
ACE inhibitors prevent harmful effects of angiotensin II from being produced and exerting its harmful effects on blood vessels. |
|
|
|
This lets your blood vessels relax so your blood flows easier and pressure is lowered. |
