Antihypertensive and cardiovascular effects of combined blockade of renin-angiotensin system with ACE inhibitor and angiotensin II type 1 receptor bl…
2006
Background: In this study the effects of 24 weeks losartan and ramipril treatment, both alone and in combination, on blood pressure and left ventricular mass (LVM) and function,have been evaluated in hypertensives. Methods. 57 hypertensives with stage 1 and 2 essential hypertension were included. After 4 weeks run in, a randomized double-blind, 3 arm, double dummy, independent trial was used. All patients were randomly allocated to 3 treatment arms consisting of losartan (50 mg/daily), ramipril (5 mg/daily), and combined (losartan 50 mg/ramipril 5 mg/daily) for 24 weeks. LVM, LVM/h and other echocardiographic measurements, BUN, creatinine and clearance and potassium were determined after ru…
Effect of dual blockade of renin-angiotensin system on TGF beta 1 and left ventricular structure and function in hypertensive patients
2007
The effects of 24 weeks losartan and ramipril treatment,both alone and in combination, on left ventricular mass (LVM), circulating transforming growth factor b1(TGFb1), procollagen type I (PIP) and III (PIIIP), havebeen evaluated in hypertensive (HT) patients. A total of 57 HT with stage 1 and 2 essential hypertension were included. After 4 weeks run in, a randomized double blind, three arms, double dummy, independent trial was used. All HT patients were randomly allocated to three treatment arms consisting of losartan (50 mg/daily),ramipril (5 mg/ daily) and combined (losartan 50 mg/daily plus ramipril 5 mg/daily) for 24 weeks. TGFb1, PIP and PIIIP, LVM, LVM/h 2.7 and other echocardiograph…

In Mandarin, the word for the world is shìjiè (mandarin 世界), the morpheme shì (mandarin 世) indicates time, while the morpheme jiè (mandarin界) indicates space. Derived from the classic book of Buddhism, this dissyllabic word shìjiè (mandarin 世界) refers to both the notion of time and that of space. It remains true that understandings and representations of the world are inevitably based on those of space and those of time.Moreover, according to Gustave Guillaume, the distinction between noun and verb is fundamentally explained by that of the universe-space and the universe-time (see 1973a: 97). Indeed, the name, used to designate a being, either visible or invisible, is closely linked to the …
The role of the renin-angiotensin system in atrial fibrillation and the therapeutic effects of ACE-Is and ARBS
2008
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common rhythm disturbance in medical practice and represents a very expensive health problem. AF can be managed with the prevention of thromboembolism and either a rate control of rhythm strategy. As both strategies have important limitations, probably a preventative strategy in patients at risk of developing arrhythmia can be a more attractive option. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) seems to be involved in the genesis of arrhythmia by the following two mechanisms: 1. the induction of atrial fibrosis and structural remodelling by mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) expression and reduction of collagenase activity; 2. the induction of electrical re…
