- W1972098081 abstract "The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) affects vascular tone, cardiac output and kidney function. By these means the RAS plays a key role in the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension. As a result, RAS inhibition is highly effective not only in lowering blood pressure but also in reducing kidney disease progression (particularly when associated with proteinuria) and cardiovascular events. Among RAS blocking agents, direct renin inhibitors have shown not only excellent efficacy in hypertension control but also pharmacologic tolerance that is comparable with other renin–angiotensin suppressors. Indeed, aliskiren, the only direct renin inhibitor available is effective in controlling blood pressure as monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensive drugs, irrespective of patient’s age, ethnicity or sex. It is also effective in patients with metabolic syndrome, obesity and diabetes. Long-term studies comparing ‘hard endpoints’ of aliskiren therapy versus treatment with other RAS inhibitors, including cardiac and kidney protection, are currently ongoing. Combined with other antihypertensive agents, aliskiren not only improves their hypotensive response but may also lessen the adverse effects of other drugs. In high-risk patients, however, precautions should be taken when combining two or more renin–angiotensin inhibiting agents, as tissue perfusion may be highly renin-dependent in these patients and serious adverse side effects could take place." @default.
