Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2: SARS-CoV-2 Receptor and Regulator of the Renin-Angiotensin System
ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2) has a multiplicity of physiological roles that revolve around its trivalent function: a negative regulator of the renin-angiotensin system, facilitator of amino acid transport, and the severe acute respiratory ...

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

Plasma Angiotensin II Is Increased in Critical Coronavirus Disease 2019
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) employs angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as its receptor for cell entrance, and studies have suggested that upon viral binding, ACE2 catalytic activity could be inhibited; therefore ...

A remote hypertension management program clinical algorithm
Abstract Introduction Hypertension is the leading risk factor for death, affecting over one billion people worldwide, yet control rates are poor and stagnant. We developed a remote hypertension management program that leverages digitally transmitted home blood pressure (BP) measurements, algorithmic care pathways, and patient–navigator communications ...

Abstract Background Heart failure (HF) is often comorbid with sleep disordered breathing (SDB). This prospective study investigated the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and predictors of SDB in hospitalized HF patients. Methods Sleep studies were performed on hospitalized HF patients from January 2015 to February 2019.

Rationale: Exogenous angiotensin II increases mean arterial pressure in patients with catecholamine-resistant vasodilatory shock (CRVS). We hypothesized that renin concentrations may identify patients most likely to benefit from such therapy. Objectives:

This study describes the clinical and laboratory profile and outcomes of hospitalized COVID‐19 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in Ghana. Out of 175 patients (mean age 55.9+/−18.3 years) 64 (36.6%) had DM. Compared to non‐diabetics, DM patients were older (61.1? 12.8 vs. 53.0?
