Ace Inhibitors Pharmacology

Today, we'll be discussing the pharmacology of ace inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, and why they are useful in lowering your patients blood pressure.
First, we'll need to discuss the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which is crucial to blood pressure control.

As you said in the video that velocity increases to raise the BP but SBP is mainly determined by SV and not the velocity of blood. Vasoconstriction increases TPR which increases DBP that doesn't effect CO and hence a low BP. Kindly someone explain the correlation if I'm wrong.
