Issue Date: | 22-Jul-2022 | Date: | 2022 | Publication information: | Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia 2022; 36(12) | Abstract: | The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), whose major vasopressor effector is angiotensin II (ATII), has multiple activities and regulates sodium-water homeostasis and fluid and blood pressure homeostasis. RAAS plays a crucial role in cardiocirculatory shock because it counteracts hypotension and hypovolemia by activating different physiologic responses. Based on the encouraging results of the ATHOS-3 trial, the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency approved the use of ATII for catecholamine-resistant vasodilatory shock. More recently, ATII was used for the compassionate treatment of critically ill patients with COVID-19. Beyond its vasopressor properties, ATII was hypothesized to have antiviral activity because it induces internalization and degradation of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors used by SARS-Cov-2 to infect cells. Overall, the use of ATII in patients with COVID-19 showed promising results because its administration was associated with the achievement and maintenance of target mean arterial pressure, increased PaO2/FIO2 ratio, and decreased FIO2. The aim of this narrative review is to summarize the available knowledge on the use of ATII in patients with COVID-19. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/30830 | DOI: | 10.1053/j.jvca.2022.07.022 | ORCID: | 0000-0002-1650-8939 | Journal: | Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia | PubMed URL: | 35995637 | PubMed URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35995637/ | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | COVID-19 angiotensin-II shock vasopressor |
