Angiotensin II treated patients are at an increased risk of thromboembolic events.There was a higher incidence of arterial and venous thrombotic and thromboembolic events in patients who received angiotensin II compared to placebo treated patients in the ATHOS-3 study [13% (21/163 patients) vs. 5% (8/158 patients)]. [9]
Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) work by inhibiting the action of angiotensin II on, specifically AT1 receptors to prevent the vasoconstrictor effects of this receptor and block the peripheral sympathetic activity.

AT 2 receptors are more plentiful in the fetus and neonate. The AT 2 receptor remains enigmatic and controversial – is probably involved in vascular growth. Effects mediated by the AT 2 receptor are suggested to include inhibition of cell growth, fetal tissue development, modulation of extracellular matrix, neuronal regeneration, apoptosis, cellular differentiation, and maybe vasodilation ...
Angiotensin II is the major bioactive product of the renin–angiotensin system, binding to receptors on intraglomerular mesangial cells, causing these cells to contract along with the blood vessels surrounding them; and to receptors on the zona glomerulosa cells, causing the release of aldosterone from the zona glomerulosa in the adrenal cortex.
Angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) is a G q/11-coupled G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and the best characterized angiotensin receptor. It is encoded in humans by the AGTR1 gene. AT1 has vasopressor effects and regulates aldosterone secretion. It is an important effector controlling blood pressure and volume in the cardiovascular system.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (EC 3.4.15.1), or ACE, is a central component of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS), which controls blood pressure by regulating the volume of fluids in the body. It converts the hormone angiotensin I to the active vasoconstrictor angiotensin II. Therefore, ACE indirectly increases blood pressure by causing blood ...
Sympathetic nervous system activity, reduced blood volume or reduced arterial pressure trigger β-adrenergic receptors in select kidney cells [2] to release renin, which converts facilitates formation of angiotensin II from its substrate angiotensin. [28] Angiotensin II triggers adrenal glands to secrete aldosterone, a potent vasoconstrictor. [28]
