Angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) have beneficial effects in patients with cardiovascular disease and in those with diabetes-related and ...

Aging is associated with an imbalance in sympathetic and parasympathetic outflow to cardiovascular effector organs. This autonomic imbalance contributes to the decline in cardiovagal baroreceptor ...

The investigational drug tonlamarsen—which is designed to lower blood pressure by reducing the production of angiotensinogen, ...

Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), particularly losartan, are associated with a lower risk for incident epilepsy in patients with hypertension and no preexisting stroke or cardiovascular disease ...

Losartan may help stop the epileptic process in certain patients with hypertension. An observational study that analyzed medical records of 2.26 million patients with hypertension found a roughly 30% ...

Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is the most common heart rhythm disorder. With AFib, the beating of the upper chambers of your heart (the atria) becomes irregular, and blood has a harder time reaching ...

Role of the RAAS in the Pathophysiology of Heart Failure ACE inhibitors have no effect on angiotensin II formed by alternate pathways. In contrast, ARBs would be expected to inhibit the biologic ...

Univariate Correlations between Changes in Aortic Diameter and TGF-β, MMP-2, and MMP-3 in Plasma. Collectively, these data 1,4 provide support for the concept that therapies targeting TGF-β and ...

Cardiovascular illnesses, such as high blood pressure and heart problems, are often treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. The ACE inhibitors lower blood pressure by relaxing ...

Angiotensin II, the principal effector peptide of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), has potent vasoconstrictive and other effects that can lead to cardiac and renal complications.
