Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACE Inhibitors)

The video tutorial covers cardiovascular pharmacology, focusing on ACE inhibitors and their role in managing high blood pressure. It explains the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and how ACE inhibitors disrupt this system to lower blood pressure. The tutorial also discusses the effects of angiotensin II on blood pressure and hormone release, highlighting the importance of aldosterone and ADH in blood pressure regulation.

Discuss the importance of pharmacological agents in managing high blood pressure.

What hormones are stimulated by angiotensin II and what are their effects on blood pressure?

How do ACE inhibitors lead to a decrease in blood pressure?
