Inhibiting the Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System in Patients with Heart Failure and Myocardial Infarction

Book ChapterDOI

Heart and hypertension: The magnitude of the problem

TL;DR: A close association has been demonstrated across many animal species between the mass of the heart and external work of the ventricle as mentioned in this paper, which is the source for the augmented energy needed to overcome the chronic burden of the pressure overload.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stroke in patients with heart failure and reduced or preserved ejection fraction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the intersection between the two conditions across the range of ejection fraction and found that patients with a history of stroke had more vascular comorbidity and worse heart failure.
