Angiotensin I‐converting enzyme (ACE) contains two catalytic domains (nACE and cACE) and is a key therapeutic target for hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Current ACE inhibitors (ACEi) nonselectively inhibit both domains, causing adverse effects. Selective inhibition requires an understanding of domain‐specific binding.

Angiotensin II and angiotensin-(1-7) in paraventricular nucleus modulate cardiac sympathetic afferent reflex in renovascular hypertensive rats. [PDF]
The enhanced cardiac sympathetic afferent reflex (CSAR) is involved in the sympathetic activation that contributes to the pathogenesis and progression of hypertension. Activation of AT(1) receptors by angiotension (Ang) II in the paraventricular nucleus (

The Role of Natriuretic peptides in Renovascular Hypertension and its correlation with the Evolution of Myocardial Hypertrophy [PDF]
The interactions between pressure and volume overload that occur in hypertension lead to different patterns of cardiac hypertrophy and to increase in natriuretic peptides (NPs).

This study, through an analysis of neuroimaging markers, biomarkers of white matter damage, and the volume of the hippocampal fimbria (a white matter structure) in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), revealed that the protective effect of statin therapy against white matter damage in CSVD patients is independent of its lipid‐lowering ...

Experimental rat models of chronic allograft nephropathy: a review [PDF]
Chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) is the leading cause of late allograft loss after renal transplantation (RT), which continues to remain an unresolved problem. A rat model of CAN was first described in 1969 by White et al. Although the rat model of RT

Abstract We developed a noninvasive approach to measure vascular responses to sympathetic stimuli. We hypothesized that standing, handgrip exercise, or cold exposure would raise blood pressure (BP) and lower renal vascular conductance (RVC). BP was recorded continuously and renal arterial velocity was measured using renal Doppler ultrasound.

Hypertensive Crises in the Adolescent: Evaluation of Suspected Renovascular Hypertension
Hypertensive crises can be divided into two categories as hypertensive emergency and hypertensive urgency. Most authorities have defined hypertensive emergency as a situation that requires immediate reduction in blood pressure (BP) with parenteral ...

Angiotensin type-2 (AT-2)-receptor activation reduces renal fibrosis in cyclosporine nephropathy: evidence for blood-pressure independent effect [PDF]
Compound 21 (C21), selective agonist of AT2 receptors, shows antinflammatory effects in hypertension and nephroprotection in diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of C21 in cyclosporine nephropathy, which is characterized mainly by ...

Hypertensive Urgency and Pulmonary Infiltrates: A Report of Three Cases
ABSTRACT Hypertensive urgency is commonly attributed to medication nonadherence, progression of essential hypertension, or secondary causes. However, in some patients, no clear precipitating factor is identified, despite repeated evaluations and the absence of target organ damage. Subclinical inflammatory conditions have been hypothesized as potential,
