Role of Nonclassical Renin-angiotensin system Axis In Renal Fibrosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2015
The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is a major regulator of renal fibrosis. Besides the classical renin/Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)/angiotensin II (Ang II)/AT1 and AT2 axis, multiple new axes have been recently described.

The Frail Renin-Angiotensin System [PDF]

open access: yesClinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2011
Over the last few decades, the understanding of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has advanced dramatically. RAS is now thought to play a crucial role in physiologic and pathophysiologic mechanisms in almost every organ system and is a key regulator of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and renal function.

The effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on the ‘forgotten’ right ventricle

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1045-1058, April 2025.
Abstract With the progress in diagnosis, treatment and imaging techniques, there is a growing recognition that impaired right ventricular (RV) function profoundly affects the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF), irrespective of their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

Features of Neurohumoral Relations in Diastolic Dysfunction of the Heart in Adolescents with Myocardial Pathology

open access: yesZdorovʹe Rebenka, 2015
It is found that only in adolescents with I type left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, there is a significant activation of sympathoadrenal system, and in patients with type II and III, increasing activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system ...

Brain Renin-Angiotensin System and Microglial Polarization: Implications for Aging and Neurodegeneration

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2017
Microglia can transform into proinflammatory/classically activated (M1) or anti-inflammatory/alternatively activated (M2) phenotypes following environmental signals related to physiological conditions or brain lesions. An adequate transition from the M1 (

Implementation of guideline‐recommended medical therapy for patients with heart failure in Europe

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 790-798, April 2025.
Abstract Physicians' adherence to guideline‐recommended heart failure (HF) treatment remains suboptimal, especially regarding the target doses. In particular, there is evidence that non‐cardiologists are less compliant with HF guideline recommendations. This is likely to have a detrimental impact on patients' survival, readmissions and quality of life.
