jamanetwork (2023-04-11). Lack of Benefit of Renin-angiotensin System Inhibitors in COVID-19. jamanetwork.com There has been considerable interest in the potential role of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors in patients with COVID-19 given that angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the functional receptor for SARS-CoV-2. Because ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) may upregulate ACE2, there is a theoretical concern that these agents might increase susceptibility to, or the severity of, SARS-CoV-2 infection. Conversely, ACE2 is the primary enzyme breaking down angiotensin II and, in the process, produces angiotensin 1-7, a physiological antagonist of angiotensin II. SARS-CoV-2 downregulates A…
