Renal hypoperfusion occurs as a result of reduced cardiac output, resulting in the activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, which compensates for the hypoperfusion. However ...

The validity as well as the usefulness of measuring components of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with elevated blood pressure (BP) has been ...

The two primary mechanisms — considered “neurohormonal” responses — are activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS).

Activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) occur in patients with systolic heart failure. Then mainstay of therapy for this disorder is ...

Lisinopril inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme. It suppresses the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. The mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of thiazides is unknown. Fetal toxicity may ...
