[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2232155, member: 196898"] This is what [I]Prof. Giovanni de Simone, Chair, ESC Council on Hypertension[/I] says about this speculative report [URL]https://www.escardio.org/Councils/Council-on-Hypertension-(CHT)/News/position-statement-of-the-esc-council-on-hypertension-on-ace-inhibitors-and-ang[/URL] Edit to add: The Chinese report gives statistics regarding the mortality rates for different co-morbidities and the classes of associative diseases etc included Cardiovascular, Diabetes, and hypertension, So having high BP levels certainly seems to put one at greater risk of mortality. Old age is another. It is not stated in their report what form of diabetes is involved or if it was controlled or uncontrolled. Similarly CVD covers things like varicose veins, bad circulation to heart attack, MI, stroke or heart failure, so not a very helpful classification IMHO. I did not see COPD or other lung diseases in their list either, but suspect that sufferes of these conditions will also be at serious risk. Also imunosuppressed patients such as on chemotherapy or transplants. Very poor report so I do not believe their statistics either. But having diabetes tends to be associatd with higher BP and thus use of drugs like ACE inhibitors. CVD and heart failure likewise uses the same meds, especially Ramipril. So one could say that ACE meds are common to all of these co-morbidities. Bur that would be guessing. Speaking of guessing, I suspect that many of these patients were also on statin therapy and had high cholesterol too but that was ignored it seems. [/QUOTE]
