Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) help relax blood vessels. This effect lowers the blood pressure and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

How Does an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Angiotensin II is a natural substance in the body that affects cardiovascular system in many ways, such as by narrowing blood vessels. This narrowing can increase blood pressure and force the heart to work harder. Angiotensin II also starts the release of a hormone that increases the amount of sodium and water in the body, which can lead to an increase in blood pressure. Angiotensin II can also thicken and stiffen the walls of blood vessels and heart. ARBs blocks the action of angiotensin II which allows blood vessels to widen (dilate).<\/p>\n\n\n

What are the Different Types of ARBs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Several ARBs are available. Many seem to work equally as well. Your physician will prescribe what he\/she thinks will work best for your condition based on experience. ARBs, at the present time, are generally prescribed when you cannot tolerate an ACE inhibitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples of ARBs include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
