ACE and COVID-19: Studies of patients hospitalised with COVID-19 have noted a greater than expected number of patients with hypertension,2 and hypertension appears to be a risk factor for more severe COVID-19 disease across many studies.4 In our study, hypertension was a risk factor for being tested positive for COVID-19 in a hospital setting independent of ACE inhibitor and ARB treatment, but was only modestly associated with likelihood of ICU admission.
