The SARS-CoV-2 virus has as its entry of infection the receptors of the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2). It has been evidenced as a probable risk factor to present high blood pressure and severe COVID-19, however, no guidelines have been established to guide the treatment with antihypertensive drugs of these patients, so a narrative review was conducted using the databases Scopus and Pubmed, through a search strategy, the information was structured on epidemiological aspects, biological plausibility of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and recommendations about treatment of hypertensive patients with COVID-19. Studies show that the risk of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection is increased in patients with high blood pressure due to increased expression of ACE-2 receptors, however, no risk of increased clinical severity is shown, so it is recommended not to discontinue treatment
