Aldosterone deficiency adversely affects pregnancy outcome in mice [PDF]
Circulating aldosterone levels are increased in human pregnancy. Inadequately low aldosterone levels as present in preeclampsia, a life-threatening disease for both mother and child, are discussed to be involved in its pathogenesis or severity. Moreover,

Abstract Aims Cardiac decompensation in cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) results in systemic congestion usually treated with diuretics. When despite high doses of diuretics, response is poor, ultrafiltration (UF) appears to be a useful and safe technique.

The vascular renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
PhDThe renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is one of the major regulators of blood pressure. The actions and generation of RAAS components at the tissue level are less well appreciated.

eGFR slope as predictor of mortality in heart failure patients
Abstract Aims Heart failure (HF) leads to an imbalance between heart and kidney function, resulting in poor outcomes. However, the prognostic significance of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) trajectory in HF patients remains unclear. We analysed electronic health records (EHRs) of real‐world HF patients, assessing eGFR trajectories and ...

Relationship between erythropoietin administration and alterations of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone
The effect of erythropoietin (EPO) administration on the responsiveness of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) has not been established. Because patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) require EPO for their management as CKD progresses, it

Considerations for drug trials in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Abstract Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heterogeneous condition with potentially serious manifestations. Management has traditionally comprised therapies to palliate symptoms and implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators to prevent sudden cardiac death. The need for disease‐modifying therapies has been recognized for decades.

Stimulation of renin secretion by potassium-channel activation with cromakalim
The cardiovascular and endocrine profile of cromakalim has been studied in 8 healthy men (age 25 +/- 2 years: means SEM) and its influence on renin release from cultured rat juxtaglomerular cells in vitro has also been examined.

Abstract Background Obesity is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet an ‘obesity paradox’ has been observed in various CVD contexts. The impact of obesity on heart failure (HF) patients treated with a wearable cardioverter‐defibrillator (WCD) remains underexplored.

High aldosterone-to-renin variants of CYP11B2 and pregnancy outcome [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Increased aldosterone concentrations and volume expansion of normal pregnancies are hallmarks of normal pregnancies and blunted in pre-eclampsia.
