Concept

Discussion of Studying the effect of ACE inhibitors (ACEIs) and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs) in COVID-19 Patients with Hypertension (Wuhan, China)

  • The different drug treatments show no difference in the progression of the infection and risk of fatality during hospitalization for COVID-19 patients with hypertension
  • Results suggest that COVID-19 patients with hypertension should not discontinue taking ACEIs, ARBs, or other antihypertensive drugs because of infection
  • Patients with hypertension became more sick from COVID-19 infection and had higher mortality rates than COVID-19 patients without hypertension
