Hyperkalemia and Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System Inhibitors Dose Therapy in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction [PDF]
Renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) are known to improve outcomes in patients who have heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

KEY POINTS AND PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: • Aliskiren, the sole oral renin inhibitor approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, either as monotherapy or in combination, with reductions in blood pressure similar to other agents. • Early evidence suggests that aliskiren confers additional benefit in

The vascular renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system [PDF]
PhDThe renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is one of the major regulators of blood pressure. The actions and generation of RAAS components at the tissue level are less well appreciated.

Calmodulin antagonists stimulate renin secretion and inhibit renin synthesis in vitro [PDF]
To find out whether calmodulin activity could be a common denominator for the cellular control of renin secretion and synthesis, we have examined the effects of calmodulin antagonists on the secretion and the synthesis of renin in primary cultures of ...

Involvement of endothelium-derived relaxing factor in the pressure control of renin secretion from isolated perfused kidney [PDF]
Using isolated rat kidneys perfused at controlled pressure, we examined a potential role of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) in the pressure control of renin secretion.

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system during haemodialysis with acetate or bicarbonate at different dialysate sodium concentrations [PDF]
The hormones of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system were measured during regular haemodialysis with acetate or bicarbonate at dialysate sodium concentrations of 135, 140, 145, and 150 mmol/l.

Inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) are widely used to treat hypertension. Using mice harboring fluorescent cell lineage tracers, single-cell RNA-Seq, and long-term inhibition of RAS in both mice and humans, we found that deletion of renin ...

Aliskiren: An orally active renin inhibitor
Renin inhibitors are antihypertensive drugs that block the first step in the renin-angiotensin system. Their mechanism of action differs from that of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor antagonists, but like these drugs,
