ACE inhibitors are the preferred therapy for patients with hypertensive diabetes because at least one study showed delayed onset and progression of diabetic glomerular disease when using these drugs. Which category of hypertension is impacted most completely when using ACE inhibitors? Pump-based Vascular resistance-based Volume-based Question 9 The Joint National Committee list of first-line therapeutics for treating hypertension (adrenergic beta-1 antagonists, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, and thiazide diuretics) includes one category of drug that is known to increase the risk of elevated blood lipids. Which category? Beta-1 antagonists ACE inhibitors CCBs Thiazide diuretics
Diuretics work to lower blood pressure by a. causing the kidneys to excrete more water and thus lower the blood volume. b. slowing the heart rate. c. acting as vasodilators, causing the muscles around blood vessels to relax. d. inhibiting an enzyme that causes blood vessels to contract.
