Numerous clinical studies have established that angiotensin II receptor blockers are effective as antihypertensive therapy and are well tolerated. Studies demonstrate that adding an angiotensin II ...

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 ...

Angiotensin II ist ein zu den Gewebshormonen zählende Peptidhormon, bestehend aus acht Aminosäuren (Oktapeptid). Es nimmt die Schlüsselposition in dem für die Aufrechterhaltung des Blutdrucks und des ...

A recent study suggests that a commonly prescribed type of blood pressure medication, known as angiotensin receptor blockers ...

The dual-action agent LCZ696 blocks the angiotensin II receptor (via a valsartan moiety) and inhibits neprilysin (via an AHU377 moiety). In a phase II trial, this drug “demonstrated superior ...

This enzyme converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction, increasing afterload, and thus increasing systemic blood pressure. Angiotensin contributes to the ...
