Angioedema

Angioedema is an area of swelling of the lower layer of skin and tissue just under the skin or mucous membranes.

Angiotensin

Angiotensin is a peptide hormone that causes vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme

Angiotensin-converting enzyme, or ACE, is a central component of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS), which controls blood pressure by regulating the volume of fluids in the body.

Catalysis

Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction due to the participation of an additional substance called a catalysthttp://goldbook.iupac.org/C00876.html, which is not consumed in the catalyzed reaction and can continue to act repeatedly.

Digoxin

Digoxin, sold under the brand name Lanoxin among others, is a medication used to treat various heart conditions.

Fatigue

Fatigue is a subjective feeling of tiredness that has a gradual onset.

Heart failure

Heart failure (HF), often referred to as congestive heart failure (CHF), is when the heart is unable to pump sufficiently to maintain blood flow to meet the body's needs.

Hypertension

Hypertension (HTN or HT), also known as high blood pressure (HBP), is a long-term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated.

Metabolite

A metabolite is the intermediate end product of metabolism.

Potassium

Potassium is a chemical element with symbol K (from Neo-Latin kalium) and atomic number 19.

Prodrug

A prodrug is a medication or compound that, after administration, is metabolized (i.e., converted within the body) into a pharmacologically active drug.

Quinaprilat

Quinaprilat is the active metabolite of quinapril.

Sodium

Sodium is a chemical element with symbol Na (from Latin natrium) and atomic number 11.

Thiazide

Thiazide is a type of molecule and a class of diuretics often used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and edema (such as that caused by heart failure, liver failure, or kidney failure).

New!!: Quinapril and Thiazide · See more »

Vasoconstriction

Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessels resulting from contraction of the muscular wall of the vessels, in particular the large arteries and small arterioles.
