| + | ===Mechanism of Action=== | ||
| + | Angiotensin II has been implicated in cardiac, renal and vascular diseases. <ref>PMID:17083068</ref> Bradykinin, a small peptide that counterbalance the effects of Angiotensin II by acting as a strong vasodilator upon binding AT2, is degraded by the same ACE-1 enzyme. Since [[ACE|ACE-1]] is the primary producer of Angiotensin II and degrader of Bradykinins, inhibition of ACE-1 has proven an effective treatment for Hypertension and Congestive Heart Failure.<ref>PMID:15236580</ref> | ||
