Abstract

Purpose of Review

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the virus responsible for the aggressive coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Recently, investigators have stipulated that COVID-19 patients receiving angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) may be subject to poorer outcomes. This editorial presents the available evidence to guide treatment practices during this pandemic.

Recent Findings

Recent studies from Wuhan cohorts provide valuable information about COVID-19. A cohort with 52 critically ill patients revealed cardiac injury in 12% of patients. Worse outcomes appear to be more prevalent in patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM), possibly due to overexpression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor in airway alveolar epithelial cells. Investigators suspect that SARS-CoV-2 uses the ACE2 receptor to enter the lungs in a mechanism similar to SARS-CoV. Several hypotheses have been proposed to date regarding the net effect of ACEI/ARB on COVID-19 infections. Positive effects include ACE2 receptor blockade, disabling viral entry into the heart and lungs, and an overall decrease in inflammation secondary to ACEI/ARB. Negative effects include a possible retrograde feedback mechanism, by which ACE2 receptors are upregulated.

Summary

Even though physiological models of SARS-CoV infection show a theoretical benefit of ACEI/ARB, these findings cannot be extrapolated to SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19. Major cardiology scientific associations, including ACC, HFSA, AHA, and ESC Hypertension Council, have rejected these correlation hypotheses. After an extensive literature review, we conclude that there is no significant evidence to support an association for now, but given the rapid evolvement of this pandemic, findings may change.

<title>Introduction</title>
<p id="Par4">Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the virus responsible for COVID-19, a global pandemic with catastrophic consequences for healthcare systems and populations around the world. SARS-CoV-2 was initially described in December 2019 in Wuhan, China [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>
]. The virus rapidly escalated and on March 11, 2020; the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 shares similarities with SARS-CoV, the virus responsible for the 2002–2003 SARS epidemic, and Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS), the virus responsible for MERS [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>
]. Following the SARS epidemic, researchers extensively investigated the pathophysiologic mechanisms of SARS-CoV infection, including the interaction of the virus with the heart and lungs. Based on these studies, researchers believe that the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, located on alveolar epithelial cells, serves as a high affinity receptor and co-transporter for SARS-CoV-2 to enter the lungs [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>
]. Medications, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), block ACE2 receptors, which may predispose or protect against COVID-19 infection. This editorial summarizes the current scientific evidence surrounding this subject in order to guide clinical practice.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="Sec2">
<title>Background</title>
<p id="Par5">The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) maintains plasma sodium concentration via feedback from blood pressure, baroreceptors, and sodium and potassium levels. First, the kidneys secrete renin, which metabolizes angiotensinogen into angiotensin I. Next, the kidneys and lungs secrete ACE, which converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II. Finally, angiotensin II stimulates vasoconstriction, cardiovascular response, and aldosterone and ADH production; this ultimately increases blood pressure and body fluid volume through sodium, potassium, and free water resorption [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>
]. ACE2 receptor, a homolog of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) receptor, is a type I transmembrane aminopeptidase with high expression in heart and lung tissue [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>
], but which is also expressed in the endothelium and kidney (see Fig. 
<xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
, illustrating the RAAS activation pathway). Discovered in 2000, ACE2 receptor appears to counter-regulate RAAS activation by degrading angiotensin II [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>
]. The RAAS system is widely implicated in DM, hypertension, and heart failure. ACEI and ARB drugs, based upon strong evidence of efficacy, are commonly used in the management of hypertension, heart failure, post myocardial infarction care, and to slow progression of renal disease associated with diabetes.

<title>COVID-19 and Comorbidity</title>
<p id="Par6">With the exponential rise of COVID-19 cases worldwide, observational studies have identified risk factors for infection and poor outcomes. Three separate studies identified hypertension and DM as highly prevalent among COVID-19 patients:
<list list-type="simple">
<list-item>
<label>A.</label>
<p id="Par7">According to Yang et al., among 52 critically ill patients, DM was present in 17% of cases [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>
].</p>
</list-item>
<list-item>
<label>B.</label>
<p id="Par8">According to Guan et al., among 1099 patients, DM was present in 16.2% of cases and hypertension was present in 23.7% of cases [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>
].</p>
</list-item>
<list-item>
<label>C.</label>
<p id="Par9">According to Zhang et al., among 140 hospitalized patients, DM was present in 12% of cases and hypertension was present in 30% of cases [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>
].</p>
</list-item>
</list>
</p>
<p id="Par10">While both hypertension and DM are treated with ACEI and ARB, medication use was not assessed in any of the three aforementioned studies, leading to an inconclusive hypothesis. However, one study to date has analyzed the effect of ACEI and ARB use on the COVID-19 population. According to Peng et al., among 112 patients, cardiovascular comorbidities led to worse outcomes, with most deaths occurring secondary to fulminant inflammation, lactic acidosis, and thrombotic states [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>
]. ACEI and ARB use did not influence morbidity or mortality [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>
].</p>
<p id="Par11">In addition to these observations, there is a well-known association between the viruses, SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, and deleterious cardiac events, including cardiac injury in SARS-CoV as well as myocarditis and heart failure in MERS-CoV [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>
]. Furthermore, SARS-CoV-2 was recently associated with cardiac injury, defined by a troponin > 28 pg/ml or electrocardiogram/echocardiogram abnormalities, in 12% of patients from a COVID-19 cohort. These data demonstrate a cardiac affinity with all three viruses [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>
].</p>
</sec>
<sec id="Sec4">
<title>Pros and Cons of ACE Inhibition</title>
<p id="Par12">The etiology of cardiac damage in patients with COVID-19 is unclear, but ACE2 receptors may play a role, given the high affinity of SARS-CoV for ACE2 receptors [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>
]. A recent commentary published in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine hypothesizes that the use of ACE2 receptor increasing drugs is at higher risk for severe COVID-19 infection. ACEI initially inhibits ACE leading to decreased angiotensin I levels, causing a possible negative feedback loop that ultimately upregulates more ACE2 receptor to be able to interact with the decreased angiotensin I substrate available [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>
] (see Fig.
<xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
.). This ACE2 receptor upregulation results in increased binding sites for SARS-CoV-2, leading to preferential COVID-19 infection. This is particularly observed in patients with diabetes and/or hypertension, since they are usually taking ACEI or ARB [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>
]. This comment was released before the findings published by Peng et al. [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>
]. An editorial response by Sommerstein et al. [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>
], based on the findings by Ferrario et al. showing a 5-fold increase in ACE2 levels with lisinopril and 3-fold increase in ACE2 levels with losartan [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>
], was published in the British Medical Journal.</p>
<p id="Par13">Conversely, some investigators argue that ACEI or ARB use may be beneficial in COVID-19 infection prevention. Li et al., for example, proposed that ACEI inhibition of ACE may stimulate a negative feedback (given the lack of angiotensin II, upregulating ACE2 receptors and decreasing overall inflammation [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>
]). Sun et al. argued that ACEI use im pairs the ACE/angiotensin II/angiotensin-1 receptor pathway, therefore, impairing the integrity of the ACE2/angiotensin 1–7/MAS (MAS-related G protein-coupled receptor). A disruption of the ACE2/angiotensin 1–7/MAS pathway could lead to decreased production of ACE2, decreasing chances of SARS-CoV-2 entering the cell [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>
]. Some RAAS inactivated animal models demonstrate symptom relief in acute severe pneumonia and respiratory failure, through vasoconstriction mechanisms [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>
]. Recent findings also demonstrate that patients on the ARB olmesartan had increased secretion of urinary ACE2, likely from an upregulation mechanism, although unclear [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>
]. Despite this hypothesis of ACE2 upregulation, a causal relationship decreasing mortality has not been demonstrated.</p>
<p id="Par14">Finally, given the contradictory hypotheses, rapidly evolving nature of the disease, and social media-related hysteria, several cardiology associations (HFSA/ACC/AHA and ESC Hypertension Council) released an official statement regarding the continuation of ACEI and ARB for COVID-19 patients [
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>
]. The associations strongly recommend continuing treatment with ACEI/ARB in patients who were previously taking either class of medication.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="Sec5">
<title>Conclusions</title>
<p id="Par15">There is a lack of scientific evidence and clinical data to support discontinuing ACE/ARB use in patients with COVID-19 and co-existing heart failure, hypertension, or ischemic heart disease. The well-studied reduction in mortality conferred by ACE/ARB use and the beneficial effects for patients with diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and proteinuria or albuminuria currently outweigh the theoretical risks. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve and affect more patients with cardiovascular comorbidities, further research is needed to clarify the accuracy of existing hypotheses.</p>
