Angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers and congestive heart failure.
Congestive Heart Failure To the Editor: We read with great interest the review on angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers by Michel Burnier.1 He quotes previous investigations, including the results of the Losartan Heart Failure Survival Study (ELITE II)2 and states that “. . .losartan was not superior to captopril in reducing morbidity and mortality. . .,” and concludes that “. . .one should b...
متن کاملState-of-the-art treatment of hypertension: established and new drugs.
The treatment of essential hypertension is based essentially on the prescription of four major classes of antihypertensive drugs, i.e. blockers of the renin--angiotensin system, calcium channel blockers, diuretics and beta-blockers. In recent years, very few new drug therapies of hypertension have become available. Therefore, it is crucial for physicians to optimize their antihypertensive thera...
متن کاملCombined blockade of the renin-angiotensin system with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonists.
Blockade of the renin-angiotensin system* (RAS) with ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) antagonists has become one of the most successful therapeutic approaches in medicine. Within 25 years, substantial evidence has accumulated to indicate that this therapy reduces blood pressure (BP),1 left ventricular (LV) mass,2 and proteinuria.3 RAS blockade results in a decrease in car...
متن کاملHeart failure: is there a role for angiotensin II receptor blockers?
Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) directly inhibit the angiotensin II type 1 receptors, which suppresses the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Six ARBs are approved in Canada for the treatment of hypertension, none are yet approved for the treatment of heart failure (HF). Evidence comparing ARBs to angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) in HF is still limited. A recen...
متن کاملThe pivotal link between ACE2 deficiency and SARS-CoV-2 infection
Angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) receptors mediate the entry into the cell of three strains of coronavirus: SARS-CoV, NL63 and SARS-CoV-2. ACE2 receptors are ubiquitous and widely expressed in the heart, vessels, gut, lung (particularly in type2 pneumocytes and macrophages), kidney, testisand brain. ACE2 is mostly bound to cell membranes and only scarcely present in the circulation in a s...
