Abstract
BACKGROUND The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of acute and chronic heart failure (HF) and represents an important target for guideline-directed medical therapy. SUMMARY The use of appropriate directed medical therapies for inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis in chronic HF has been the subject of several landmark clinical trials, with high levels of adherence exhibited in the outpatient setting. However, less clarity exists with respect to the initiation, continuation, and cessation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) in the setting of acute HF and exacerbation of HF necessitating hospitalization. In this review, we summarize relevant aspects of the physiology of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis in acute HF and during decongestion. We also summarize the available evidence for the risks and benefits of initiating and continuing RAASi in acute HF. Key Message: We offer a decision-making pathway for the use of RAASi in the setting of acute HF that would help guide the cardiologist and nephrologist caring for patients with acute HF and cardiorenal syndrome.

Abstract
Despite the success of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockade by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) blockers, current therapies for hypertension and related cardiovascular diseases are still inadequate. Identification of additional components of the RAS and associated vasoactive pathways, as well as new structural and functional insights into established targets, have led to novel therapeutic approaches with the potential to provide improved cardiovascular protection and better blood pressure control and/or reduced adverse side effects. The simultaneous modulation of several neurohumoral mediators in key interconnected blood pressure-regulating pathways has been an attractive approach to improve treatment efficacy, and several novel approaches involve combination therapy or dual-acting agents. In addition, increased understanding of the complexity of the RAS has led to novel approaches aimed at upregulating the ACE2/angiotensin-(1-7)/Mas axis to counter-regulate the harmful effects of the ACE/angiotensin II/angiotensin III/AT1R axis. These advances have opened new avenues for the development of novel drugs targeting the RAS to better treat hypertension and heart failure. Here we focus on new therapies in preclinical and early clinical stages of development, including novel small molecule inhibitors and receptor agonists/antagonists, less conventional strategies such as gene therapy to suppress angiotensinogen at the RNA level, recombinant ACE2 protein, and novel bispecific designer peptides.
