In Heart Failure Patients Treated With ACE Inhibitor And/or Beta Blocker, Higher Plasma Renin Activity Is Related To Greater Risk Of Mortality

Data confirm that in heart failure patients being treated with ACE inhibitor and/or beta blocker, higher plasma renin activity still predicts greater risk of mortality1. PRA is a measure of the activity of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) which, when chronically activated, can lead to increased blood pressure and organ damage.
