Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors in heart failure.
Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2013 October
Heart failure (HF) is a very common condition that, despite advances in treatment, carries significant morbidity and mortality. Although there is good evidence for the treatment of HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), the treatment for HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is not well defined. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) has been shown to be an effective target in the treatment of HFrEF using angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and aldosterone blockade, although the evidence in HFpEF is less clear. This review aims to look first at the evidence for these drugs, and second at the newer drugs that act on the RAAS, namely, direct renin inhibitors, neutral endopeptidase inhibitors, vasopeptidase inhibitors, and angiotensin receptor blockers.
