November 16, 2009 (Orlando, Florida) — An analysis of the Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation (HOPE) study has potentially identified a new biomarker of renin angiotensin system (RAS) activation that ...

May 17, 2005 (San Francisco) - Patients with hypertension and high ambulatory plasma renin levels are at greater risk of myocardial infarction and revascularization procedures than those with low ...

Direct renin inhibition is a new means for blocking the renin–angiotensin system at the rate-limiting step of the cascade of events triggered by renin release—the interaction of renin with its ...

USA: A higher aldosterone-renin ratio (ARR), reflecting a broader spectrum of primary aldosteronism, is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke in older adults, a ...

There is increasing evidence of a clinically relevant interplay between the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system and calcium-regulatory systems. Classically, the former is considered a key regulator ...

A recent report describes a case of hypertension in a renal-transplant recipient in which elevations of peripheral plasma renin activity were noted 8 during the rejection crisis. Shibagaki and his ...

In a clinical trial, renal denervation was associated with decreased plasma renin activity and aldosterone levels compared with a sham procedure. Renal denervation (RDN) is associated with decreased ...

A potential association between the use of angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) and angiotensin-converting–enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and the risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) has not been well ...

To facilitate high throughput screening of renin inhibitors, we have developed new renin assay kits utilizing FRET peptide substrates. The SensoLyteTM 520 Renin Assay Kit contains FRET peptide labeled ...

VANCOUVER, B.C.—High plasma renin activity (PRA) is associated with adverse renal outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), according to study findings presented at the World Congress ...

Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have discovered a population of natural barometers that monitor and maintain our blood pressure. The cellular sensors have long been ...
