Beyond the conventional renin angiotensin system / edited by Walmor De Mello.

It is well known that the activation of the circulating renin angiotensin system is involved in cardiovascular pathology including hypertension, heart failure and is responsible for important organic changes induced by diabetes. Evidence is now available that independently of the classical system, t...
