Why is it important?

Research now documents that a limited therapeutic efficacy of current treatments based on inhibiting angiotensin converting enzyme or blocking angiotensin II receptors in terms of preventing the occurrence of heart attacks, heart failure, and kidney disease. Their limited efficacy may , in part reflect a differential mechanisms for angiotensin Ii production between animals and humans.

Perspectives

A renewed effort to achieve better therapeutic outcomes through the use of chymase inhibitors.
