Angiotensin Imbalance in Patients with Arterial Aneurysms
Author(s): Megan Qian*
Arterial aneurysms are a significant vascular pathology characterized by
the abnormal dilation of blood vessels due to the weakening of the arterial wall.
These aneurysms can occur in various regions, including the aorta, cerebral
arteries, and peripheral vasculature, leading to life-threatening complications
such as rupture and dissection. One of the critical physiological pathways
implicated in the development and progression of arterial aneurysms is
the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS). Dysregulation of angiotensin, a key
component of this system, has been increasingly recognized as a contributing
factor in aneurysm pathophysiology... Read More»
