Difference in Medication Adherence Between Patients Prescribed a 30‐Day Versus 90‐Day Supply After Acute Myocardial Infarction

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Evidence‐based medication adherence rates after a myocardial infarction are low. We hypothesized that 90‐day prescriptions are underused and may lead to higher evidence‐based medication adherence compared with 30‐day fills. Methods and Results

Receptor Interactions of Angiotensin II and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers—Relevance to COVID-19

Biomolecules, 2021
Angiotensin II (Ang II) may contain a charge relay system (CRS) involving Tyr/His/carboxylate, which creates a tyrosinate anion for receptor activation. Energy calculations were carried out to determine the preferred geometry for the CRS in the presence ...

The Pleiotropic Effects of Angiotensin Receptor Blockers [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2006
The angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are very effective and safe antihypertensive drugs. They exert their antihypertensive effect through blockage of the angiotensin II, type 1 receptor and quite possibly through stimulation by angiotensin II of the unoccupied type 2 receptor.

Acute Kidney Injury in a Case Series of Patients with Confirmed COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019): Role of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 and Renin-Angiotensin System Blockade

Case Reports in Nephrology, 2020
The renin-angiotensin system plays a very critical role in hypertension, diabetes, and kidney and heart diseases. The blockade of the renin-angiotensin system results in the prevention of progression of renal and cardiac damage.

New Approaches to Blockade of the Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System: Mineralocorticoid-Receptor Blockers Exert Antihypertensive and Renoprotective Effects Independently of the Renin–Angiotensin System

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
The role of angiotensin II in mediating hypertension and renal diseases is well documented, and inhibition of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system elicits antihypertensive and renoprotective effects.
