... cardiomyopathy Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Angiotensin-converting enzyme Cardiomyopathy, a condition characterized by a spectrum of cardiac abnormalities, has seen a notable surge in prevalence over the last decade [ 1 ]. This complex disorder encompasses features such as altered heart chamber size...

..., immunohistochemical, Western blot analysis or ELISA assay. Results: Obvious cardiac fibrosis was detected in the diabetic group and was alleviated by ibuprofen treatment. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin (Ang) II and AngII type 1 receptor (AT1-R) levels were higher, and ACE2, Ang(1-7) and Mas receptor...

...Hong Fang; Wei Chen; Yang Gao; Yi Shen; Ming Luo Objective: This paper aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms associated with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory peptide activity involved in vascular extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Therefore, changes in collagen fibers...

...Roberto Latini; Aldo P. Maggioni; Giulio Zuanetti Recent trials have shown that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors can reduce mortality and the occurrence of severe left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) when started within the first day after acute myocardial infarction and continued for 4...
