This video on demand lecture will discuss vascular protection in hypertension and renal disease.
This course explores the role of ACE inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) in managing hypertension, slowing kidney disease progression, and providing vascular protection. It examines their effects on proteinuria, endothelial function, and cardiovascular outcomes, particularly in high-risk patients. This will also review the similarities and differences between ACEi and ARBs, guiding their efficient use in patient care.
Learning outcomes
Upon module completion, participant will be able to:
Contrast the evidence for angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) in reducing proteinuria levels in patients with CKD.
Evaluate the evidence for ACEi and ARBs in the prevention of CKD in diabetic patients with high cardiovascular risk.
Differentiate the effects of ACEi and ARBs on endothelial function.
Evaluate the evidence for ACEi and ARBs in reducing all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in high-risk patients
Topics Covered Hypertension in special population: Renal disease
Beyond blood pressure - focus on vascular protection
