Renin and 1-year mortality in critically ill patients with ARDS: trajectories, discrimination, and survival analysis [PDF]
BackgroundWe investigated whether early and serial plasma renin concentration (PRC) is associated with 1-year mortality in critically ill patients with COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).MethodsWe conducted a single-center ...

Therapeutic Implications of Renin–Angiotensin System Modulators in Alzheimer’s Dementia
The Renin–Angiotensin System (RAS) has attracted considerable interest beyond its traditional cardiovascular role due to emerging data indicating its potential involvement in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s dementia (AD).

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 ...

The renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system, neurohumoral axis and cardiovascular mortality in LURIC
Although neurohormones and Renin‐Angiotensin‐Aldosterone‐System (RAAS) components are important predictors of cardiovascular mortality (CVM), their importance for predicting outcomes in patients with/without RAAS‐blockers and different degrees of ...

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Adipokines: The Role of Visfatin and Apelin in Cardiovascular Disease Management [PDF]
Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors are medications pivotal in cardiovascular disease management, impacting the renin-angiotensin system which plays a critical role in cardiovascular health. These inhibitors not only modulate blood

The Use of Renin-Angiotensin System Blockades Among Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Background and objectives: Hypertension is common in adult patients with chronic kidney disease with a prevalence that depends on the stage and etiology of chronic kidney disease and has been reported to range from 60-90%.
