Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ACE inhibitors prevent ACE from breaking down bradykinin, which can lead to an accumulation of bradykinin in the body. This can cause side effects such as cough, angioedema, and hypotension. ACE inhibitors do not affect the breakdown of aldosterone, renin, or the entire renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS).
