Book Description
The relationship between angiotensin II and hypertension was established in 1898 when angiotensin II was shown to modulate systemic blood pressure. Over the intervening decades, a complete characterization of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been achieved, and our understanding of its biochemistry and physiology has led to the directed development of agents such ·as ACE inhibitors and receptor antagonists capable of controlling hypertension. More recently, it was shown that angiotensin II is secreted within certain tissues and that these tissue-specific systems operate independently of the systemic RAS. The novel concept that angiotensin II regulates a number of cardiovascular processes that are unrelated to blood pressure has renewed the interest of both basic and clinical scientists in angiotensin II. The association between angiotensin II and cardiac growth, in particular, has indicated that therapies currently in use for hypertension may have direct application to the treatment of heart failure. The Manitoba Cardiovascular Forum on Angiotensin Receptor Blockade in Winnipeg was convened October 18-20, 1996 to examine the clinical and basic aspects of angiotensin receptor biology as they apply to hypertension and heart failure. In addition, the potential treatment of these conditions using specific angio tensin receptor antagonists was addressed within the context of their immediate therapeutic application and future potential.

Book Description
The recent development of several new, non-peptide, orally active angiotensin II receptor antagonists is revolutionizing the treatment of patients with hypertension and various cardiovascular disorders. In this book experts review the current state of angiotensin II antagonists and survey the progress of these diverse applications. Issues relating to angiotensin II and their receptors are examined in relation to their effects on the kidney, non-diabetic renal disease, heart disease, diabetes mellitus, and various other disorders. The combination of AT1 receptor antagonists with other antihypertensive agents is reviewed in depth. The clinical attributes of these drugs are complemented by in-depth reviews of the physiology and pharmacology of angiotensin II peptides. The authors present the most recent findings in ligand recognition, activation, signal coupling, desensitization and functional alterations of vessels, especially small arteries, in patients with hypertension. This book constitutes the only available compendium on the clinical and experimental features of angiotensin II receptor antagonists. The unique features of the rapidly emerging class of drugs are surveyed throughout. Contributions have been made from international experts who have personally contributed to the discovery and development of these novel drugs. Recent cutting-edge physiology and pharmacology studies by renowned international experts provide a platform for considering the clinical applications of these agents.
