Understand the Problem
The image provides information about ACE (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme) inhibitors, detailing their mechanism of action, therapeutic uses, notes on patient considerations, and common adverse reactions.
Answer
ACE inhibitors treat cardiovascular issues by blocking enzyme activity, reducing blood pressure.
The image reviews ACE inhibitors used to treat cardiovascular conditions. These drugs block the conversion of angiotensin I to II, reducing blood pressure, and cause bradykinin accumulation leading to a dry cough. They are important for conditions like Chronic Kidney Disease and CAD but are contraindicated in pregnancy.
