Background Terlipressin, a precursor that is metabolized to lysine-vasopressin, has been
proposed as a drug for treatment of intraoperative arterial hypotension refractory to …

The goal of the present study was to determine whether terlipressin, an agonist of the
vasopressin system, could counteract perioperative hypotension refractory to common …

Background Terlipressin has been suggested as the ideal drug to treat anesthesia-induced
hypotension in patients under long-term renin-angiotensin system inhibitor treatment for …

In patients chronically treated with angiotensin con-verting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEI),
typically selected doses of ephedrine do not always restore arterial blood pressure when …

Discussion We report refractory hypotension, after induction of anesthesia in a patient
chronically treated with drugs inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system. Although irbesartan …

Discussion We report the first observation of intraoperative hypertension-associated
myocardial ischemia after terlipressin bolus in a patient with coronary artery disease …

Three pathways are critically involved in blood pressure regulation during anaesthesia, ie
the sympathetic nervous system, the renin angiotensin system (RAS), and the …

Angiotensin II antagonists (AIIA) are part of a new rational treatment of hypertension.
Because adverse circulatory effects during anesthesia can occur in patients chronically …

Background The sympathoadrenal and the renin-angiotensin systems are involved in blood
pressure regulation and are known to be markedly activated during cardiac surgery …

Renin angiotensin system (RAS) antagonists, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)
inhibitors, and angiotensin II receptor antagonists are increasingly used to treat …
