DOI: 10.1002/jmv.26625
Abstract: Renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors, including angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are one of the most prescribed antihypertensive medications. Previous studies showed RAAS inhibitors increase the expression of ACE2, a cellular receptor… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/heartjnl-2018-314158
Abstract: Inhibitors of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone (RAAS) system are cornerstones of the management of patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, RAAS inhibitors may cause decline in renal function and/or hyperkalaemia, particularly… read more here.
