Effects of ACEI and ARB on COVID-19 patients: A meta-analysis
The clinical use of ACEI/ARB in patients with COVID-19 infection remains controversial. We performed a meta-analysis on the effects on disease symptoms and tests. We searched the relevant literature from Pubmed, Embase, EuropePMC, CNKI, and other databases. ACEI/ARB had a positive effect on reducing D-dimer and the number of people with fever. It had no significant effect on other laboratory tests or symptoms in patients with COVID-19.
