What is another word for Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme Inhibitors?
Pronunciation: [ˈaŋɡɪˌə͡ʊtənsˌɪn a͡ɪ kənvˈɜːtɪŋ ˈɛnza͡ɪm ɪnhˈɪbɪtəz] (IPA) 
Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme Inhibitors, commonly known as ACE inhibitors, are a class of drugs primarily used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions. These medications work by blocking the conversion of angiotensin I into angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to narrow. By inhibiting this process, ACE inhibitors help relax and widen blood vessels, reducing blood pressure and improving blood flow. Some synonyms for ACE inhibitors include antihypertensive drugs, hypertensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors. These terms are often used interchangeably to refer to medications that belong to this particular class, emphasizing their action on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system to regulate blood pressure.
