USA: Researchers have discovered in a new research that compared with angiotensin II–inhibiting antihypertensives, angiotensin II–stimulating medications were associated with a lower risk of certain ...

Despite the availability of effective antihypertensive therapies, global blood pressure control rates remain unacceptably low. Contributing factors, such as low treatment adherence, therapeutic ...

Antihypertensives that stimulate angiotensin II receptors are associated with a lower risk for biomarkers of dementia.

Angiotensin II (AT-II)-Receptor Antagonists are Reviewed. Research focused on blocking the renin- angiotensin system (RAS) led to the discovery of angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, which ...

This Review presents a contemporary update of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS), explaining its links to cancer through tissue remodelling, inflammation, angiogenesis and apoptosis. In vitro, animal ...

Robyn Williams: Much of our illness comes from good systems gone wrong. Cells proliferate to give growth, but if that gets out of control it can become cancerous, and that blurred split, would you ...

This injection reduces the production of angiotensin, a hormone that increases blood pressure, in the body.

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 ...

We present a case of new-onset collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and antibody-mediated rejection that occurred 1 month after kidney transplantation in association with AT1-receptor ...

Daniel Leisman, MD, a resident in the Department of Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, is the lead author of a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) titled ...

Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Interruption of the renin–angiotensin system slows the progression of renal disease in patients with type 1 diabetes, but similar ...
