Counter-regulatory renin–angiotensin system in cardiovascular disease

Nature Reviews Cardiology, 2019
The renin–angiotensin system is an important component of the cardiovascular system. Mounting evidence suggests that the metabolic products of angiotensin I and II — initially thought to be biologically inactive — have key roles in cardiovascular ...

Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System Inhibitors and Risk of Covid-19

New England Journal of Medicine, 2020
Background There is concern about the potential of an increased risk related to medications that act on the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system in patients exposed to coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), because the viral receptor is angiotensin ...

Influence of Captopril Treatment of Plasma Renin Activity � Mathematical Model

Notulae Scientia Biologicae, 2010
A model of the dynamics of plasma renin activity under the influence of various doses of captopril is formulated. The influence of captopril on renin angiotensin system is different from the effects of the other studied drugs nifedipine and nicardipine.

The Renin-Angiotensin System Modulates Inflammatory Processes in Atherosclerosis: Evidence from Basic Research and Clinical Studies

Mediators of Inflammation, 2009
Recent evidence shows that the renin-angiotensin system is a crucial player in atherosclerotic processes. The regulation of arterial blood pressure was considered from its first description of the main mechanism involved.

Downregulation of ACE2 induces overstimulation of the renin–angiotensin system in COVID-19: should we block the renin–angiotensin system?

Hypertension Research, 2020
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is the cause of the ongoing coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. Mortality is mainly due to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [1].

Pathological Role of Angiotensin II in Severe COVID-19

TH Open, 2020
The activated renin–angiotensin system induces a prothrombotic state resulting from the imbalance between coagulation and fibrinolysis. Angiotensin II is the central effector molecule of the activated renin–angiotensin system and is degraded by the ...

Non-employment and low educational level as risk factors for inequitable treatment and mortality in heart failure: a population-based cohort study of register data

BMC Public Health, 2021
Background The risk of heart failure is disproportionately high among the socioeconomically disadvantaged. Furthermore, socioeconomically deprived patients are at risk of inequitable access to heart failure treatment and poor outcomes.

Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System Blockers and the Risk of Covid-19

New England Journal of Medicine, 2020
Background A potential association between the use of angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) and angiotensin-converting–enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and the risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) has not been well studied.
