What Does ACE Stand For?

ACE stands for Angiotensin Converting Enzyme

ACE, or Angiotensin Converting Enzyme, is an essential enzyme in the renin-angiotensin system that plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance. It catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, thereby influencing vascular resistance and blood volume. ACE inhibitors are commonly used in clinical practice to treat hypertension and heart failure by preventing this conversion, leading to vasodilation and improved cardiovascular outcomes.
