Question:

What effect on the treatment of secondary hypertension would you expect from angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor drugs?

Author: Krystal Pickard



Answer:

When secondary hypertension occurs, the cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus secrete renin, which in turn results in angiotensin I and then angiotension II production and increased blood pressure, so giving ACE inhibitors may reduce the production of angiotensin II and lower the blood pressure.
