Abstract
Animal models of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) demonstrate up-regulation of the renin angiotensin system. However, no clinical data are available to support the efficacy of angiotensin II inhibition in treatment for PAH. In this mini review, we will update the knowledge regarding regulation of the RAS system in PAH compared to primary hypertension in order to seek better treatments against PAH.
