What are ACE inhibitors, diuretics?
ACE inhibitors are medications that work by inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in the body. This enzyme plays a role in regulating blood pressure. By blocking ACE, these medications help relax and widen blood vessels, reducing blood pressure. Diuretics are medications commonly used to treat hypertension. They work by increasing urine production, helping the body eliminate excess salt and water. Thiazide diuretics are a specific type often prescribed for hypertension.
What is renin?
Renin is an enzyme produced by the kidneys that plays a role in regulating blood pressure. It initiates a series of chemical reactions that eventually leads to the production of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels and raises blood pressure.
How do angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) work and beta blockers?
ARBs are medications that block the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to narrow. By blocking angiotensin II, ARBs help relax and widen blood vessels, resulting in lowered blood pressure. Beta blockers are medications that block the effects of adrenaline on the heart. By doing so, they slow down the heart rate and reduce the force of contraction, helping to lower blood pressure.
What is the role of the American Heart Association (AHA) in hypertension?
The AHA is an organization that provides guidelines, resources, and support for healthcare professionals and the general public regarding heart health, including the prevention and management of hypertension. They offer valuable information and recommendations based on scientific research in the field.
