How does an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor function?
A)Blunts node conduction resulting in lower ventricular response
B)Reduces blood pressure and causes water loss through increased urine production
C)Lowers blood pressure and control ventricular arrhythmias
D)Reduces myocardial oxygen demand and reduces blood pressure

Question
