Using genetics to understand the role of antihypertensive drugs modulating angiotensin-converting enzyme in immune function and inflammation.

Varying effects of different classes of antihypertensives on immune and inflammatory markers do not suggest antihypertensive use based on their role in ACE2 expression, but instead suggest investigation of the role of antihypertensives in immune function and inflammation might reveal important information that could optimize their use in SARSCoV-2.
