Since Angiotensin II is one of the most potent vasoconstrictors and an important stimulus for the secretion of Aldosterone from the Adrenal gland, the development of Angiotensin II inhibitors is an important step in regulating blood pressure. Building upon the success of the first edition, this text explores the various uses of Angiotensin II, including its new role in neuroprotection. Edited by Professor Mancia and a distinguished and global team of contributors who are well-known in the fields of hypertension and heart failure, "Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonists" covers areas including: Angiotensin II Antagonists in the treatment of patients, with renal impairment or failure; The antidiabetic effect of Angiotensin II Antagonists; Angiotensin II Antagonists, and protection against subclinical cardiac and vascular damage; Cerebrovascular protection by Angiotensin II Antagonists; and Angiotensin II Antagonists in acute and post-acute myocardial infarction.
