Can ACE Inhibitors Promote Detrimental Vascular Effects After Percutaneous Injury?

Can ACE Inhibitors Promote Detrimental Vascular Effects After Percutaneous Injury? To the Editor: Zhuo et al1 reported interesting observations in vivo about the effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition with perindopril on plasma ACE levels and cellular expression of ACE, AT1 receptors, and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms in human blood vessels. Oral ACE inhibition at conv...

ACE, ACE inhibitors, and other JNK.

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of blood pressure, volume homeostasis, vascular function, and cell growth. In what is considered the classic RAS, renin is released from juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney into the circulation where it converts angiotensinogen from the liver to angiotensin I. Angiotensin I is subsequently hydrolyzed by a peptidyl dipepti...

ACE inhibitors and anaesthesia.

During the last decade, two angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, captopril and enalapril, have become accepted into clinical practice and are regarded as effective treatments for hypertension and congestive cardiac failure.' A third agent, lisinopril, had recently become available and others are likely to be introduced in the near future. It is clear, therefore, that more patients, w...
