Poker players, fear not! ACE is short for an angiotensin-converting enzyme.
Angiotensin is a hormone that causes vasoconstriction! Reducing the width of blood vessels and so increasing blood pressure. Not good. Enter the need for ACE inhibitors. ACE inhibitors "widen, or dilate, your blood vessels. That increases the amount of blood your heart pumps and lowers blood pressure."

So in the battle to keep your heart from overworking, another drug gets into the game: a beta-blocker. which keeps adrenaline under control! Adrenal gets you ready to run from danger! Your heart quickens. That can be bad on a continual basis, so Metoprolol (or another named beta-blocker) gets put on your list of meds, all to keep your pulse down and blood pressure lower. But as I always say, eat some beets! Not instead, but in addition if you use a proscribed drug.
