Alterations in vascular function in primary aldosteronism - a cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging study [PDF]
Introduction: Excess aldosterone is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Aldosterone has a permissive effect on vascular fibrosis. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) allows study of vascular function by measuring aortic ...

ABSTRACT Background Heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are common comorbidities among patients undergoing coronary angiography. Both conditions are associated with increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes and mortality. However, the joint prognostic impact of HF and CKD in this patient population remains unclear. Aims We aimed

Antiangiogenic therapy with bevacizumab improves outcomes in ovarian cancer but induces hypertension, leading to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). While calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) are recommended for managing bevacizumab‐associated hypertension, their impacts on cancer progression and ...

Development of a novel murine heart failure model overexpressing human renin and angiotensinogen
Renin is the rate‐limiting enzyme of the renin–angiotensin system cascade, which drives the pathophysiological progression of heart failure. Species differences in the amino acid sequence of the catalytic domain of renin limit evaluations of the potency ...

Hydralazine is a vasodilator typically used in the treatment of resistant hypertension and heart failure. N‐acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) catalyzes the metabolism of hydralazine into inactive metabolites. NAT2 poor metabolizers (historically referred to as “slow acetylators”) are predicted to have increased plasma hydralazine concentrations compared with ...
