Aliskiren, at low doses, reduces the electrical remodeling in the heart of the TGR(mRen2)27 rat independently of blood pressure

Methods: The influence of chronic administration of low doses of aliskiren (5 mg/kg/day, i.p.) for a period of eight weeks on cardiac electrophysiological and structural remodeling was investigated in transgenic (TGR)(mRen-2)27 rats. Cardiac and plasma angiotensin II (Ang II) levels were determined...
