SARS-CoV-2 infection & Cardiology: Overview on Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System Inhibition.

The CoV-2 is a coronavirus strain, and it main way to get access to the cells is via the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and cause the SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2). For the treatment of hypertension, it's commonly used angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and angiotensin II converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs). It's clear that there is still a lot of uncertainty and controversy around SARS-CoV-2 and ACE2 and only with more studies we will have proven answers. The use of medications such as ACEIS and ARBs should be individualized and in the majority of times its’ suspension is not necessary.
