Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ACE inhibitors block the enzyme ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme), which is responsible for converting angiotensin I into the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II. By blocking this conversion, ACE inhibitors cause vasodilation, reduce blood pressure, and promote diuresis (increased urine output).
