Résumé

Despite the similar clinical outcomes after renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitor (RASi) continuation or withdrawal in COVID-19, the effects on angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and RAS metabolites remain unclear. In a substudy of the randomized controlled Austrian Corona Virus Adaptive Clinical Trial (ACOVACT), patients with hypertension and COVID-19 were randomized 1:1 to either RASi continuation (n = 30) or switch to a non-RASi medication (n = 29). RAS metabolites were analyzed using a mixed linear regression model (n = 30). Time to a sustained clinical improvement was equal and ACE2 did not differ between the groups but increased over time in both. Overall ACE2 was higher with severe COVID-19. ACE-S and Ang II levels increased as expected with ACE inhibitor discontinuation. These data support the safety of RASi continuation in COVID-19, although RASi were frequently discontinued in our post hoc analysis. The study was not powered to draw definite conclusions on clinical outcomes using small sample sizes.
