Study to Explore the Association of the Renin-Angiotensin System and Right Ventricular Function in Mechanically Ventilated Patients

Study to Explore the Association of the Renin-Angiotensin System and Right Ventricular Function in Mechanically Ventilated Patients

Background: Right ventricular (<i>RV</i>) dysfunction is associated with pulmonary vasoconstriction in mechanically ventilated patients. Enhancing the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (<i>ACE</i>2), a key enzyme of the renin-angiotensin system (<i>RAS</i&g...
