BACKGROUND Increased renin angiotensin aldosterone system(RAAS) activity may contribute to excess cardiovascular disease in people with HIV(PWH). We investigated how RAAS blockade may improve myocardial perfusion, injury and function among well-treated ...

Spironolactone treatment attenuates vascular dysfunction in type 2 diabetic mice by decreasing oxidative stress and restoring NO/GC signaling [PDF]
Type 2 diabetes (DM2) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Aldosterone, which has pro-oxidative and pro-inflammatory effects in the cardiovascular system, is positively regulated in DM2.

Possible dose-dependent effect of eplerenone on intraocular pressure
Purpose: Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the main modifiable risk factor for glaucoma. Current therapies target the anterior outflow of aqueous humor or its production. This study aims to demonstrate eplerenone could reduce IOP through a possible posterior

Diabetic kidney disease, biomarkers, and finerenone. [PDF]
Abstract Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), the leading cause of kidney failure worldwide, is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). A complex pathobiology involving hemodynamic, metabolic, and immune dysregulation promotes inflammatory and fibrotic pathways that contribute to kidney disease progression and CVD in individuals ...

PHARMACOECONOMIC ASPECTS OF EPLERENONE USAGE IN CHRONIC HEART FAILURE
Eplerenone (Inspra, Pfizer) improves the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure and heart failure after acute myocardial infarction. Since Russia eplerenone pharmacoeconomics issues rarely discussed, the analysis of the literature on this topic

Vascular dysfunction and fibrosis in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats: the aldosterone-mineralocorticoid receptor-Nox1 Axis [PDF]
Aims: We questioned whether aldosterone and oxidative stress play a role in vascular damage in severe hypertension and investigated the role of Nox1 in this process.
