The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This class of medicine works by causing relaxation of blood vessels as well as a decrease in blood volume, which leads to lower blood pressure and decreased oxygen demand from the heart.
- ACE inhibitors inhibit the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme, an important component of the renin–angiotensin system which converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II, and hydrolyzes bradykinin.
- Therefore, ACE inhibitors decrease the formation of angiotensin II, a vasoconstrictor, and increase the level of bradykinin, a peptide vasodilator.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The ACE inhibitor article was read about 78,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 81: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
