Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are 10 ACEIs available in the U.S.market.ACEIs are the preferred antihypertensives in the setting of systolic dysfunction heart failure,proteinuric kidney disease (diabetic and nondiabetic),and post-myocardial infarction.ACEIs generally decrease systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 15% to 25%.ACEIs are most effective in normal-renin or high-renin hypertension;however,they are also effective in low-renin hypertension,especially when used at maximal doses.ACEIs are effective alone and in combination with other antihypertensive agents,especially thiazide-type diuretics.
