ACE inhibitors have known side effects, such as cough, that are frustrating for many patients, while ARBs appear to have less annoying side effects. This podcast will review a recently published retrospective, comparative cohort study comparing the effectiveness and safety of ACE inhibitors vs ARBs in the first-line treatment of hypertension.\\n\\xa0\\nEpisode resource links:\\n\\nHypertension. 2021;78:591\\u2013603.
