 | | EDITORIAL REVIEWCombining renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade with diuretic therapy for treatment of hypertension | | | Moreover, ongoing research suggests that this new class of drugs may be an important approach, not only for the treatment of hypertension and of conditions associated with overt volume overload but also for ischaemic heart disease. | | | Objectives: Systemic infusions of aldosterone cause an acute increase in systemic vascular resistance (SVR) in healthy subjects. |

| | HDCN-- AII Receptor Symposium at ASH 96: Presentation of Dr. de Zeeuw |
| | Now it is clear that if we intervene in the renin angiotensin system, and there have been many studies that have been demonstrating that elegantly... | | | I think that at this time point the hypothesis is valid to put forward to state that these hemodynamic changes on the one hand, induced by the renin angiotensin system, are the working hypothesis of angiotensin II and its role in maybe decline of function of organs. | | | So it looks like that with the ACE inhibitors we have drugs intervening in the renin angiotensin system differentiating themselves from not only reducing the blood pressure effectively but also changing the renal hemodynamics, possibly lowering inter-glomerular pressure and, on the other hand, lowering proteinuria. |

| | As a result of these studies, research in the laboratory and clinic is rapidly exploring the significance of these systems in cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular diseases. | | | In the last decade the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and other peptidergic systems, such as atrial natriuretic peptides and endothelin, have become an increasingly important focus of basic cardiovascular research. | | | Results of clinical trials of drugs inhibiting the systems in the treatment of hypertension, renal disease, heart failure, post-myocardial infarction and diabetes as well as new areas of clinical research into the possible value of these agents in new indications such as maintenance of cognitive function |

| | Renin-angiotensin system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The renin-angiotensin system is often manipulated clinically to treat high blood pressure. | | | The system can be activated when there is a loss of blood volume or a drop in blood pressure (such as in a hemorrhage). | | | As with most other capillary beds in the body, the constriction of afferent arterioles increases the arterioler resistance, raising systemic arterial blood pressure and decreasing the blood flow. |

| | Diabetes Care: Renin-Angiotensin System Gene Polymorphisms, Bl... @ HighBeam Research |
| | The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) helps maintain blood pressure and salt homeostasis and may play a role in the pathogenesis of aspects of the metabolic syndrome. | | | However, like other public hospitals in Hong Kong, because the system of government-funded primary care is not developed to the same extent as in most Western countries, many of the patients attending the clinics use the facility as their only source of subsidized medical care for management of their chronic diseases. | | | The patients involved therefore do not represent a highly selected group of the most severe cases, but are a typical cross-section of patients with these conditions from this region of Hong Kong. |

| | The renin-angiotensin system and atherosclerosis |
| | Therefore, today we have asked Dr. Hiromi Rakugi, of the Department of Geriatric Medicine, Osaka University Medical School to discuss the renin-antiotensin system and atherosclerosis. | | | Since atherosclerosis, especially that in the coronary and cerebral blood vessels, is a direct cause of death, the prevention of atherosclerosis caused by hypertension is an important topic with repect to patient prognosis. | | | AII increases insulin resistance by two mechanismus: a) reduction of blood flow in muscle tissue by increasing peripheral vascular resistance; and b) activation of the sympathetic nervous system. |

| | Renin Angiotensin Ssystem |
| | Angiotensin II is both a vasoconstrictor and the most important stimulus for the release of aldosterone by the adrenal cortex. | | | The enzyme, renin, is secreted by the kidney in response to decreased renal perfusion pressure or flow; it cleaves the decapeptide angiotensin I from angiotensinogen. | | | The latter two are useful agents in treatment of hypertension and heart failure though have differences in action: ACEIs also block kinin production while A-IIRAs are specific for the AT-II receptor. |

Renin release is under the control of a number of factors including blood pressure and volume, and urinary composition. |
