A new study has suggested that people who take angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have an increased chance of developing lung cancer.
Millions of people take the drugs every day, according to reports, and as noted by the U.S. National Library of Medicine: ACE inhibitors “cause relaxation of blood vessels, as well as a decreased blood volume, which leads to lower blood pressure and decreased oxygen demand from the heart.” Namely, this group of drugs inhibits the angiotensin-converting enzyme and affects the production of hormones responsible for controlling blood pressure levels in the body.
