Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System Inhibitors
Learning Objectives:
By reviewing this animation, learners will have a better understanding of how the Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System
(RAAS) can be inhibited at various points by four different classes of drugs currently in use:
- β-blockers
- Direct renin inhibitors
- Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors
- Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs).

Increased Risk of Acute Coronary Syndrome In Diabetes
Learning Objectives:
As a result of reviewing this animation, learners will have a better understanding of why acute coronary events such as myocardial infarction and stroke are more likely to occur in patients with diabetes compared to the non-diabetic individuals.

|
Renin angiotensin System (RAS)
Learning Objectives:
By reviewing this animation, learners will have a better understanding of the important role that activation of the RAS system plays in the development of vascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease. Clinical trials show the value of interruption of the angiotensin system in reducing the impact of vascular disease and subsequently lowering the risk for both myocardial infarction and stroke.
