PHARMACOLOGICAL ANTAGONISATION OF RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN-ALDOSTERONE SYSTEM (RAAS)
Abstract:
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a complex neurohormonal system, essential in regulating blood pressure and maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance and with an important influence on cardiovascular structure and function components. RAAS complexity, as a neurohormonal system, determines the existence of multiple ways to discontinue the pharmacological activity, intervening at different levels, depending on the constituent element to which the pharmacological agent is addressed or on the enzymatic reaction that is meant to be inhibited..
