  1. angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor

    An angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor is a type of medication that is used primarily for the treatment of high blood pressure and heart failure. It works by blocking the action of a certain enzyme in the body that produces angiotensin II, a substance that can narrow blood vessels, release hormones that can raise blood pressure and reduce the amount of water eliminated through urine. By inhibiting this enzyme, these medications help relax and widen blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, and increasing the efficiency of the heart.
