| | As a result, blood vessels relax and widen (dilate), making it easier for blood to flow through the vessels, which reduces blood pressure. | | | Angiotensin II receptor blockers can be used to treat heart failure in some people who cannot tolerate ACE inhibitors or who have kidney disease from diabetes (diabetic nephropathy) and in people with type 2 diabetes. | | | ACE inhibitors can cause an annoying cough because they block the breakdown of a substance that can cause you to cough. |

| | Even in people with normal blood pressure, blocking the activation of angiotensin is effective for treatment of heart failure. | | | These are often substituted for ACE inhibitors when a cough develops in someone who is otherwise benefitting from the ACE inhibitor. | | | This results in high blood pressure and a strain on the heart. |
