Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists [PDF]
Two mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, spironolactone and eplerenone, are currently approved by the FDA. Several non-steroid based ligands are in clinical trials for indications including heart failure, hypertension and diabetic kidney disease, and even more structurally distinct chemical series are reported in the literature with preclinical data

Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in ESKD [PDF]
There is an urgent need for interventions that reduce cardiovascular risks in patients with ESKD. Recently there has been considerable interest in whether blocking the effects of the mineralocorticoid aldosterone could be such an intervention.

Thiazides and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in chronic kidney disease [PDF]
The latest treatment guidelines for patients with arterial hypertension continues to indicate as the first line therapy a minimal association between renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers and a thiazide-type or a thiazide-like diuretic.

Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists Mitigate Mitral Regurgitation-Induced Myocardial Dysfunction
Mitral regurgitation (MR), the disruption of the mitral valve, contributes to heart failure (HF). Under conditions of volume overload, excess mineralocorticoids promote cardiac fibrosis.

PATIENT WITH CHRONIC HEART FAILURE. RATIONAL CHOICE OF THERAPY
The theory of chronic hyperactivation of neurohormonal systems, in particular, sympathoadrenal and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone, is the basis of modern concepts of the pathogenesis of heart failure. The medicinal blocking of these two systems has proved

The effect of eplerenone on adenosine formation in humans in vivo: a double-blinded randomised controlled study. [PDF]
It has been suggested that mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists have direct cardioprotective properties, because these drugs reduce mortality in patients with heart failure.
