Brain Renin–Angiotensin System in Hypertension, Cardiac Hypertrophy, and Heart Failure

Brain renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is significantly involved in the roles of the endocrine RAS in cardiovascular regulation. Our studies indicate that the brain RAS participates in the development of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis through sympathetic activation. Inhibition of sympathetic hyperac...
