A possible beneficial effect of ACEIs in COVID-19 patients could indirectly come by reducing ACE2 substrate, Ang II, and finally limiting Ang (1–7) [but not Ang (1–9)] production and its (detrimental) effects; however, this is only a hypothetical possibility since, in this case, the ACE2/ACE pathway might be even more unbalanced. Here, ACE2 is linked to COVID-19.
