ARB
Angiotensin II receptor antagonist/angiotensin receptor blocker. ARBs are a group of medicines usually prescribed for those patients who are intolerant of ACE inhibitors. Rather than lowering levels of angiotensin II, they instead prevent the chemical from having any effect on blood vessels.
Angina covers symptoms of chest pain that occur when narrowing of the coronary arteries prevent enough oxygen containing blood reaching the heart muscle when its demands are high, such as during exercise.
