About this book
The renin angiotensin system plays an essential role on cardiac and vascular
functions and their connection in the generation of cardiovascular diseases.
Renin Angiotensin System and Cardiovascular Disease covers indispensable aspects
such as intracellular signaling, regulation of cell volume in the failing heart,
the presence of an intracrine renin angiotensin system, and the influence of
prorenin/renin, angiotensin II, angiotensin (1-7) and aldosterone. Furthermore,
the role of the mineralocorticoid receptor as an imperative component of the
intracrine renin angiotensin system and as a regulator of extracellular action
of angiotensin II is described, reinforcing the view that aldosterone inhibitors
are helpful in the treatment of heart failure and hypertension. Renin Angiotensin
System and Cardiovascular Disease provides readers with an outstanding review
of the major topics involving the renin angiotensin system and cardiovascular
disease. With contributions by an international panel of experts, Renin Angiotensin
System and Cardiovascular Disease presents the most relevant aspects of the
role of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system on cardiovascular diseases
including hypertension, congestive heart failure, atherosclerosis and diabetes.
The volume Editors, Dr. Walmor C. DeMello and Dr. Edward Frohlich, both established
specialists in their respective fields, team up to discuss a range of topics
from Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System and Pathobiology of Hypertension to
Inhibiting the Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System in Patients with Heart Failure
and Myocardial Infarction.
