Overview: ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors and ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers) are both recommended as first-line treatments for hypertension. ACE inhibitors have known side effects, such as cough, that are frustrating for many patients, while ARBs appear to have less annoying side effects. This podcast will review a recently published retrospective, comparative cohort study comparing the effectiveness and safety of ACE inhibitors vs ARBs in the first-line treatment of hypertension.
