Concept

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

  • Patients taking ACEIs/ARBs had a higher prevalence of coronary artery disease
  • Patients not taking ACEIs/ARBs had higher alkaline phosphate levels
  • For the most part, all patients had similar comorbidities and laboratory profile results, such as blood cell counts, inflammatory markers, renal and liver function tests, and cardiac biomarkers
  • ACEI/ARB treatment and calcium channel blockers did not affect the frequency of severity of illness, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and mortality among the hypertension patients
