Cardiovascular, renal issues and mortality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Blood pressure must be reduced according to the needs of the patients based on age, race, severity of hypertension, co-existing medical problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Co-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, renal failure, gout, coronary artery disease, hyperlipidemia, and peripheral vascular disease) are major determinants for the selection of antihypertensive medications<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are not only efficacious antihypertensive agents in the elderly, but also appear promising in counteracting some of the cardiovascular and renal consequences of hypertension. They are well tolerated and have a low incidence of adverse effects. ACE inhibitors possess ancillary characteristics that are potentially beneficial for many elderly patients, including reduction of left ventricular mass, lack of metabolic and lipid disturbances, no adverse CNS effects, no risk of induction of heart failure, and a minimal risk of orthostatic hypotension.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">So, that would be the first line of drugs doctors will prescribe for older people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Since ACE inhibitors may improve perfusion to the heart, kidney, and brain, they are well worth considering for the treatment of elderly patients with hypertensive target organ damage, especially in patients with heart failure, and diabetic patients with early nephropathy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>What is Angiotensin-1?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Let us talk about Angiotensin first and proceed to drugs that blocks it later in the discussion to reduce your high blood pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Angiotensin is a peptide hormone that causes narrowing or vasoconstriction of arteries, causing increased blood pressure. It is part of the renin-angiotensin system, which regulate blood pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Now what is renin-angiotensin system o<\/strong>r the RAS, as it is called.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">It is also called renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system or RAAS. This system is a critical regulator of blood pressure, including blood volume and electrolyte balance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Normally renin secreted by special cells in the kidneys if blood pressure is too low thus activating angiotensin 11 to increase blood pressure and vascular resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Angiotensin 11 derived from Angiotensin 1 by an enzyme secreted in the walls of blood vessels called angiotensin converting enzymes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">When your blood pressure drops too low or your body does not have enough salt, renin gets sent into your blood stream. That triggers a chain reaction that creates a hormone called angiotensin and signals your adrenal glands to release another hormone called aldosterone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Angiotensin also stimulates the release of aldosterone from the adrenal gland that sits on each kidney like a cap, promoting retention of sodium by the kidneys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In short angiotensin by narrowing arteries and retention of salt helps maintain normal range blood pressure and fluid balance in the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">This is a natural event when people are traumatized to minimize the rate of bleeding for survival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The precursor of angiotensin is a protein called angiotensinogen produced in the liver.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Angiotensinogen broken up by renin, an enzyme produced in the kidneys to form angiotensin 1. As the blood passes through the lungs and kidneys, further metabolized to produce angiotensin 11 by the angiotensin-converting enzyme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Angiotensin- converting enzyme is produced by the vascular endothelium or inner lining cells to help regulate blood pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Its catalysis- meaning accelerating the conversion of angiotensin 1 an inactive protein to angiotensin 11.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">So, lets summarize what we have learnt so far.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Liver produces angiotensinogen<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">This is broken down to Angiotensin 1 by hormone renin secreted in the kidneys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Now the angiotensin converting hormones secreted in the inner lining of arteries converts angiotensin 1 into angiotensin 11.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Angiotensin 11 raises blood pressure by several actions, the most important ones being vasoconstriction or narrowing of blood vessels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Now let us talk about angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. These are drugs that cause dilation or relaxing of blood vessels by inhibiting the production of angiotensin 11.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">These are drugs used to treat high blood pressure, heart problems and other conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The major organs that ACE inhibitors affects are the kidneys, blood vessels, heart brain and adrenal glands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">As I said earlier ACE inhibitors or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors work by primarily relaxing the blood vessels, on the other hand angiotensin formed by breaking down of angiotensinogen produced in the liver cause narrowing or vasoconstriction of blood vessels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">So, ACE inhibitors are used to in the treatment of high blood pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Those ACE inhibitors come in various labels, such as, capoten, Monopril, enalaprilat, Zestril, Lotensin, Accupril, lisinopril and so on, and your doctor would have prescribed one of those drugs which you take for high blood pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">ACE inhibitors act by stopping the action of an enzyme called angiotensin- converting enzymes described earlier as produced by the inner lining of blood vessels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Angiotensin- converting enzyme signals protein in the body, converting angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 11. Angiotensin 11 narrows blood vessels and contributes to salt and water retention in the body which increases the blood pressure as mentioned earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">ACE inhibitors has side affects you should be aware of if your doctor has prescribed for you for high blood pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">They are a dry cough, low blood pressure, fatigue, dizziness, headache, loss of taste and skin rashes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">If you get any of these side effects, remember they may be due to your ACE inhibitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">There are more serious side effects too:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Swelling of the area beneath the skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Increased potassium levels in the blood<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Renal failure if you have narrowing of renal arteries<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">They may be harmful to both mother and the baby if taken during pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0And lastly chest pain and pancreas gland swelling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Please see your doctor if you get any of these serious side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Hope this video article was useful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Wear your mask and keep your social distances in crowds, even though you have had both vaxxes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Goodbye for now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Disclaimer:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The information contained in this article is for general information purposes only, and whilst the author will endeavour to keep the information up to date and correct, eLanka makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability or availability with respect to the eLanka website or the information, products, services, or related graphics contained in this article for any purpose.
