	Angiotensin II receptor blockers - MayoClinic.com
		Angiotensin II receptor blockers, sometimes called angiotensin II inhibitors, treat a variety of conditions, such as high blood pressure, heart failure and scleroderma.
		Angiotensin II is a natural substance in your body that affects your cardiovascular system in many ways, such as by narrowing your blood vessels.
		Angiotensin II also stimulates the release of the hormone aldosterone, which increases your body's retention of sodium and water.

		Angiotensin II is a very potent chemical that causes the muscles surrounding the blood vessels to contract, which thereby narrows the blood vessels.
		Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are medications that block the action of angiotensin II.
		As a result, the blood vessels dilate and the blood pressure is reduced.

		Since angiotensin II receptor blockers do not increase concentrations of bradykinin, the proposed mechanism of ACE inhibitor-induced angioedema, they were presumed to be safe alternatives.
		CONCLUSIONS: Until the exact cause of both ACE inhibitor- and angiotensin II receptor blocker-induced angioedema is determined, angiotensin II receptor blockers should be used with extreme caution in patients with a prior history of angioedema.
