Scope note: Clase de fármacos cuya principal indicación es el tratamiento de la hipertensión y de la insuficiencia cardiaca. Ejercen su efecto hemodinámico principalmente inhibiendo el sistema renina-angiotensina. También regulan la actividad del sistema nervioso simpático y aumentan la síntesis de prostaglandinas. Causan principalmente vasodilatación y natriuresis leve, sin afectar a la frecuencia cardiaca ni a la contractilidad.

Scope note: A class of drugs whose main indications are the treatment of hypertension and heart failure. They exert their hemodynamic effect mainly by inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system. They also modulate sympathetic nervous system activity and increase prostaglandin synthesis. They cause mainly vasodilation and mild natriuresis without affecting heart rate and contractility.
