Why the study?
Does renin-angiotensin system inhibition preserve left atrial reservoir function in patients with hypertension?
Does renin-angiotensin system inhibition preserve left atrial reservoir function in patients with hypertension?
This response clarifies that comorbidities such as diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation did not significantly confound the original finding that RAS inhibition may preserve left atrial function in hypertensive patients.
