Relation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system with potential cardiac injury and remodelling: the SABPA study

Relation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system with potential cardiac injury and remodelling: the SABPA study

Purpose: The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays an important role in maintaining hemodynamic homeostasis. Ethnic disparities exist regarding RAAS activity due to sympathetic activity and sodium-water retention, however the implications thereof on cardiac damage is unknown. This study...
