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 angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB) telmisartan ameliorates endothelial dysfunction following drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation better than the calcium-channel blocker amlodipine in ...

The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) was initially thought to be fairly simple. However, this idea has been challenged following the development of RAAS blockers, including renin inhibitors ...

A potential association between the use of angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) and angiotensin-converting–enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and the risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) has not been well ...

Objective: To evaluate the effects of long-term therapy with fosinopril, irbesartan and atenolol on the autonomic control of the cardiovascular system in hypertensive patients. Methods: We enrolled 58 ...

Angiotensin receptor blockers are antihypertensive medicines used to treat high blood pressure. They act as vasodilators, widening the blood vessels (vasodilation) and reducing blood pressure. The ...

People on angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) did well to stay the course even when kidney function dropped, researchers found in a retrospective ...

Aldosterone was isolated from blood and urine, its adrenal origin elucidated, and its steroid structure identified nearly 50 years ago. Actions involving the reabsorption of sodium and the release of ...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers are antihypertensive medicines used to treat high blood pressure. While the enzyme inhibitors work by reducing the level of ...
