Drugs ending in “-sartan” act as receptor antagonists for a peptide that promotes this condition. Situations (10[1])where this condition emerges only in medical settings is jokingly referred to as white coat syndrome. This condition (-5[1])and proteinuria act as diagnostic markers of preeclampsia. (10[1])ACE inhibitors are prescribed to treat this condition (10[1])by inhibiting (10[1])the production of angiotensin II. This condition can be diagnosed with a reading of 140 over 90 (10[1])or higher on a sphygmomanometer, which takes measurements for the systole and diastole.
