Renin plays a clinically significant role in both the regulation of arterial blood pressure and within the renin–angiotensin system in cardiovascular diseases.

Stimulation of renin was seen at levels of sodium intake below 50 mmol/d with relative suppression of renin occurring at sodium intake levels above 150-200 mmol/d.

BACKGROUND: Primary aldosteronism (PA), an overt form of renin-independent aldosterone production, leads to a disproportionately high rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Mounting ...

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system plays a vital role in developing congestive heart failure (CHF). ACE inhibitors are commonly prescribed for heart failure as they have been shown to ...

These patients are often prescribed renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors, including angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). This ...

Another pharmacologic approach to reducing the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease is inhibition of the renin–angiotensin system. Some studies have shown that angiotensin-converting ...
