Findings to help support that hypothesis would include: (i) replication of a prominent effect in multiple animal studies and models; (ii) evidence that tissues with low expression of ACE2 have prominent increases in its expression and activity following ACEI/ARB treatment; (iii) data documenting that increases in ACE2 expression in response to ACEI/ARB treatment enhance the ability of the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus to infect cells; (iv) findings from human studies of statistically significant relationships between ACEI/ARB usage and ACE2 expression/activity; and (v) epidemiological data showing that patients with COVID‐19 administered ACEIs/ARBs have increased morbidity and mortality, ideally with a dose‐response relationship for such outcomes.How well do the available data provide such evidence?
