An ACE inhibitor is a class of drugs that inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme, which is used by the body to trigger the enlargement of blood vessels. Doctors often prescribe a drug of this class as first-line treatment for hypertension and heart failure, as well as a number of other conditions, such as strokes and kidney dysfunction resulting from diabetes.Geriatric Times: Understanding the Biology of ACE Inhibitors WebMD: ACE Inhibitors for high blood pressure
Often another drug, such as an angiotensin II receptor blocker or a diuretic, must be taken in combination with an ACE inhibitor to achieve blood pressure goals. In fact, a number of combined drugs (i.e., an ACE inhibitor along with one or more additional drugs in a single pill) are suggested in some modern research, such as beta-blockers or statins.Ingenta Connect: Challenges for the Prevention of Primary and Secondary Stroke
