Patients with COVID-19 infection are at risk of acute respiratory disease syndrome (ARDS) and death. The tissue receptor for COVID-19 is ACE2, and higher levels of ACE2 can protect against ARDS. Angiotensin receptor blockers and statins upregulate ACE2. Clinical trials are needed to determine whether this drug combination might be used to treat patients with severe COVID-19 infection.
感染 COVID-19 的患者有患急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)和死亡的风险。COVID-19 的组织受体是 ACE2,ACE2 水平较高可以预防 ARDS。血管紧张素受体阻滞剂和他汀类药物可上调 ACE2。需要临床试验来确定这种药物组合是否可用于治疗重症 COVID-19 感染患者。
