Relationship Between Angiotensin Receptor Blockers and Cancer: A Nested Retrospective Longitudinal Cohort Study
<p> Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are commonly prescribed drugs that have proven benefits among patients with cardiovascular and diabetic diseases. Recently a concern of modest increase in the risk of solid cancers among ARB users was reported. This became controversial, as many experts …

A systematic review of the blood pressure lowering efficacy of ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers for primary hypertension
… pressure (BP) reduction. ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are two drug classes that, by different mechanisms, inhibit the renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system that regulates BP. As these drugs are widely prescribed for hypertension, it is essential to determine and …

A systematic review of outcomes associated with withholding or continuing angiotensinconverting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) prior to noncardiac surgery
… surgery increasing numbers are taking either an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I) or an angiotensin receptor blocker(ARB). The current recommendations whether to continue or withhold ACE-I and ARB in the perioperative period are conflicting. Previous metaanalyses have linked …

ABSENCE OF V1AR ALTERS CARDIAC FUNCTION AT BASELINE AND FOLLOWING ACUTE CARDIAC INJURY
… pressure, such as the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and the sympathetic nervous system. Current treatment guidelines recommend using drugs that block β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) signaling (e.g. β- blockers) or RAAS signaling (e.g. angiotensin receptor …

Combination Treatment of Angiotensin-II Receptor Blocker and Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme Inhibitor in Non-Diabetic Renal Disease on Effect of Reducing Proteinuria
BACKGROUND: The fact that angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors(ACEI) and angiotensin receptor blockers(ARB) antagonize the renin-angiotensin system at different levels suggests that these agents, already confirmed by clinical benefit in retarding the progression of chronic renal disease, may …

Mas Receptor Agonism for the Treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
… target of interest is by modulating the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), mediated by the activation of the mas receptor. The RAS consists of a family of G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCR) that serve a dual role. The pathological arm includes angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin-II, …
