A3 Sequence analysis of baroreflex sensitivity in heart failure: The effect of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition

The effect of progressive aerobic continuous training on angiotensin-1, angiotensin-2 and angiotensin-converting enzyme type 2 in patients with heart failure

Background: Chronic hypertension causes structural and functional changes in the heart, ultimately leading to heart failure (HF), which further increases mortality and morbidit. HF is a complex clinical syndrome caused by various structural or functional abnormalities of the heart that impair the filling capacity of the ventricles. The findings of various trials have shown the association betwe...

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition in patients with congestive heart failure.

The etiology of afterload elevation in congestive cardiac failure is unclear, but experimental evidence suggests a role for the renin-angiotensin system in maintaining elevated peripheral vascular resistance. The angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor SQ20,881 was administered to eight patients with congestive cardiac failure (four hypertensives, four normotensives) during or one day after dia...

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Sarcoidosis

Effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition on protein kinase C and SR proteins in heart failure.

We tested the hypothesis that activation of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in pressure-overload heart failure was prevented by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition, resulting in normalization of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ATPase (SERCA) 2a and phospholamban protein levels and improvement in intracellular Ca2+ handling. Aortic-banded and control guinea pigs were given ram...

analysis of power in the network society

اندیشمندان و صاحب نظران علوم اجتماعی بر این باورند که مرحله تازه ای در تاریخ جوامع بشری اغاز شده است. ویژگیهای این جامعه نو را می توان پدیده هایی از جمله اقتصاد اطلاعاتی جهانی ، هندسه متغیر شبکه ای، فرهنگ مجاز واقعی ، توسعه حیرت انگیز فناوری های دیجیتال، خدمات پیوسته و نیز فشردگی زمان و مکان برشمرد. از سوی دیگر قدرت به عنوان موضوع اصلی علم سیاست جایگاه مهمی در روابط انسانی دارد، قدرت و بازتولید...
