ARBs and Nitro work?: Do ARB'S and Nitro work the same way? (Relax vessels) If so; will ARB'S relax coronary arteries? ANS: No ARBS work by blocking high blood levels of angiotensin II. Nitro works directly on arterial muscles. But both may "relax" blood vessels. ARBS by AII receptor occupation and nitro directly.
