The group analyzed 49 RCTs that compared ARBs with ACE inhibitors, a combination of the two drug classes, placebo, or calcium-channel blockers, and tracked microalbuminuria and proteinuria over at ...

Investigators found ARBs are better at cutting the PSE risk in individuals with high blood pressure than angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, calcium channel blockers (CCBs), and beta ...

Patients taking ACE inhibitors or ARBs did not have a higher risk of getting COVID-19 or related complications, finds a study of more than 1 million patients taking antihypertensive drugs.

Although ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are acceptable alternatives, thiazide-type diuretics still have the best evidence of efficacy.

Use of ACE inhibitors or ARBs is recommended for Stage 1, 2, and 3 renal failure. If the glomerular filtration rate falls to Stage 4 levels and the patient exhibits marked proteinuria, dialysis or ...

Calcium Channel Blockers for High Blood Pressure: ... Calcium channel blockers vs. ACE inhibitors. Angiotensin 2 is an enzyme that narrows blood vessels and creates a hormone that raises blood ...

In an analysis of almost 3 million patients taking a single high blood pressure medication for the first time, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) were as good as angiotensin-converting enzyme ...

A total of 4,707 significant kidney events, 818 cardiovascular events, and 1,498 deaths were identified over the 5-year period. The hazard ratios (HRs) for significant kidney events were 0.81 (95% ...

Use of ARBs or ACE inhibitors did not show any association with Covid-19 among case patients overall (adjusted odds ratio, 0.95 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 0.86 to 1.05] for ARBs and 0.96 [95% ...

This study, published in the medical journal The Lancet, suggests that doctors should consider making thiazide diuretics the ...

In a propensity-matched analysis of patients with hypertension, no medication class (including ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers, calcium-channel blockers, or thiazide diuretics) was associated with ...

We assessed the relation between previous treatment with ACE inhibitors, angiotensin-receptor blockers, beta-blockers, calcium-channel blockers, or thiazide diuretics and the likelihood of a ...
