| Preferred Name | ACE Inhibitor |
| Definitions |
Any substance that inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Inhibition of ACE results in a reduction in angiotensin II and angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion, causing vasodilation and natriuresis.

| ALT_DEFINITION |
A medication that inhibits ACE, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Inhibition of ACE results in a reduction in angiotensin II and angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion, causing vasodilation and natriuresis.
A drug that is used to lower blood pressure. An ACE inhibitor is a type of antihypertensive agent.
A pharmaceutical agent that inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Inhibition of ACE results in a reduction in angiotensin II and angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion, causing vasodilation and natriuresis. It is primarily used for the reduction of proteinuria and the treatment of hypertension.
