Angiotensin receptor blockers and heart failure: still CHARMing after VALIANT?
The effects of ACE-inhibitors have been documented extensively during the last 15 years. They offer wide benefits to patients with cardiovascular disease. Their effects are most prominent in patients with chronic activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) as are those of aldosterone receptor blockade. However, adverse effects are not uncommon. Antagonism of the actions of bot...
متن کاملScreening for Neonatal Hypoglycemia After Fetal Exposure to β-Blockers.
In this issue of Pediatrics, Bateman et al 1 have elegantly convinced readers that infants of mothers prescribed β-blockers in late pregnancy, in a large American database, have a significantly elevated risk (4.3%) of neonatal hypoglycemia, with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.68. This finding is important because β-blockers are used commonly to treat hypertensive orders in pregnancy, and in Batema...
متن کاملAngiotensin II receptor blockers.
BUMC PROCEEDINGS 2003;16:123–126 The angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) represent a newer class of antihypertensive agents. Their mechanism of action differs from that of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, which also affect the renin-angiotensin system. The ARBs were developed to overcome several of the deficiencies of ACE inhibitors: competitive inhibition of ACE results ...
متن کاملAngiotensin receptor blockers in heart failure: a work in progress.
The concept that the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) plays a major role in the development, progression and clinical manifestations of heart failure has become widely accepted over the past several decades. The importance of the angiotensin (Ang) II Type 1 (AT1) receptor in mediating most of the pathophysiologic effects of Ang II has also been well established. Nonetheless, finding a role for th...
متن کاملAre angiotensin II receptor blockers indicated in chronic heart failure?
Chronic heart failure is one of the most serious cardiac problems encountered in clinical practice. Modulation of the renin angiotensin system is a key element in the treatment of this syndrome. There is overwhelming evidence in favour of the benefit of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors on morbidity and mortality in mild to severe heart failure and in heart failure or left ventricu...
