ACE stands for Angiotensin Converting Enzyme. Angiotensin II is the most potent vasoconstrictor in your body. In order to get from Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II, there is an enzyme required for this reaction to occur. ACE inhibitors are used to treat high blood pressure (and congestive heart failure) and they exert their effect by blocking the enzyme.

ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) is an enzyme that plays a key role in regulating blood pressure by converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor. ACE inhibitors are a class of medications that target this enzyme to help lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart.
