Abstract
The Non synonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) of the renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) pathway, unique to the Indian population were investigated in view of its importance as an endocrine system. nsSNPs of the RAS pathway genes were mined from the IndiGenome database. Damaging nsSNPs were predicted using SIFT, PredictSNP, SNP and GO, Snap2 and Protein Variation Effect Analyzer. Loss of function was predicted based on protein stability change using I mutant, PremPS and CONSURF. The structural impact of the nsSNPs was predicted using HOPE and Missense3d followed by modeling, refinement, and energy minimization. Molecular Dynamics studies were carried out using Gromacsv2021.1. 23 Indian nsSNPs of the RAS pathway genes were selected for structural analysis and 8 were predicted to be damaging. Further sequence analysis showed that HEMGH zinc binding motif changes to HEMGD in somatic ACE-C domain (sACE-C) H992D and Testis ACE (tACE) H418D resulted in loss of zinc coordination, which is essential for enzymatic activity in this metalloprotease. There was a loss of internal interactions around the zinc coordination residues in the protein structural network. This was also confirmed by Principal Component Analysis, Free Energy Landscape and residue contact maps. Both mutations lead to broadening of the AngI binding cavity. The H992D mutation in sACE-C is likely to be favorable for cardiovascular health, but may lead to renal abnormalities with secondary impact on the heart. H418D in tACE is potentially associated with male infertility.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock is a primary cardiac disorder that results in both clinical and biochemical evidence of tissue hypoperfusion and can lead to multi-organ failure and death depending on its severity. Inadequate cardiac contractility or cardiac power secondary to acute myocardial infarction remains the most frequent cause of cardiogenic shock, although its contribution has declined over the past two decades, compared with other causes. Despite some advances in cardiogenic shock management, this clinical syndrome is still burdened by an extremely high mortality. Its management is based on immediate stabilization of haemodynamic parameters so that further treatment, including mechanical circulatory support and transfer to specialized tertiary care centres, can be accomplished. With these aims, medical therapy, consisting mainly of inotropic drugs and vasopressors, still has a major role. The purpose of this article is to review current evidence on the use of these medications in patients with cardiogenic shock and discuss specific clinical settings with indications to their use.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock is a clinical syndrome of impaired tissue perfusion caused by primary cardiac dysfunction and inadequate cardiac output. It represents one of the most lethal clinical conditions in intensive care medicine with mortality >40%. Management of different clinical presentations of cardiogenic shock includes guidance of cardiac preload, afterload, heart rate and contractility by differential pharmacological modulation of volume, systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance and cardiac output besides reversing the triggering cause. Data from large registries and randomized controlled trials on optimal diagnostic guidance as well as choice of pharmacological agents has accrued significantly in recent years. This state-of-the-art review summarizes the basic concepts of cardiogenic shock, the diagnostic work-up and currently available evidence and guideline recommendations on pharmacological treatment of cardiogenic shock.

Therapeutic Approaches in COVID-19 Patients: The Role of the Renin-Angiotensin System. Can Respir J 2022; 2022:8698825.

Abstract
Two and a half years after COVID-19 was first reported in China, thousands of people are still dying from the disease every day around the world. The condition is forcing physicians to adopt new treatment strategies while emphasizing continuation of vaccination programs. The renin-angiotensin system plays an important role in the development and progression of COVID-19 patients. Nonetheless, administration of recombinant angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 has been proposed for the treatment of the disease. The catalytic activity of cellular ACE2 (cACE2) and soluble ACE2 (sACE2) prevents angiotensin II and Des-Arg-bradykinin from accumulating in the body. On the other hand, SARS-CoV-2 mainly enters cells via cACE2. Thus, inhibition of ACE2 can prevent viral entry and reduce viral replication in host cells. The benefits of bradykinin inhibitors (BKs) have been reported in some COVID-19 clinical trials. Furthermore, the effects of cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors on ACE2 cleavage and prevention of viral entry into host cells have been reported in COVID-19 patients. However, the administration of COX inhibitors can reduce innate immune responses and have the opposite effect. A few studies suggest benefits of low-dose radiation therapy (LDR) in treating acute respiratory distress syndrome in COVID-19 patients. Nonetheless, radiation therapy can stimulate inflammatory pathways, resulting in adverse effects on lung injury in these patients. Overall, progress is being made in treating COVID-19 patients, but questions remain about which drugs will work and when. This review summarizes studies on the effects of a recombinant ACE2, BK and COX inhibitor, and LDR in patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Septic and vasoplegic shock are common types of vasodilatory shock (VS) with high mortality. After fluid resuscitation and the use of catecholamine-mediated vasopressors (CMV), vasopressin, angiotensin II, methylene blue (MB) and hydroxocobalamin can be added to maintain blood pressure. AREAS COVERED VS treatment utilizes a phased approach with secondary vasopressors added to vasopressor agents to maintain an acceptable mean arterial pressure (MAP). This review covers additional vasopressors and adjunctive therapies used when fluid and catecholamine-mediated vasopressors fail to maintain target MAP. EXPERT OPINION Evidence supporting additional vasopressor agents in catecholamine resistant VS is limited to case reports, series, and a few randomized control trials (RCTs) to guide recommendations. Vasopressin is the most common agent added next when MAPs are not adequately supported with CMV. VS patients failing fluids and vasopressors with cardiomyopathy may have cardiotonic agents such as dobutamine or milrinone added before or after vasopressin. Angiotensin II, another class of vasopressor is used in VS to maintain adequate MAP. MB and/or hydoxocobalamin, vitamin C, thiamine and corticosteroids are adjunctive therapies used in refractory VS. More RCTs are needed to confirm the utility of these drugs, at what doses, which combinations and in what order they should be given.

Abstract
The multifaceted nature of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) makes it versatile due to its involvement in pathogenesis of the cardiovascular disease. Angiotensin II (Ang II), a multifaceted member of RAS family is known to have various potential effects. The knowledge of this peptide has immensely ameliorated after meticulous research for decades. Several studies have evidenced angiotensin I receptor (AT1 R) to mediate the majority Ang II-regulated functions in the system. Functional crosstalk between AT1 R mediated signal transduction cascades and other signaling pathways has been recognized. The review will provide an up-to-date information and recent discoveries involved in Ang II receptor signal transduction and their functional significance in the cardiovascular system for potential translation in therapeutics. Moreover, the review also focuses on the role of stem cell-based therapies in the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Up to one-third of all patients admitted to intensive care units carry a diagnosis of shock. The use of angiotensin II is becoming widespread in all forms of shock, including cardiogenic, after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) initial approval for vasoplegic shock in 2017. Here, the authors review the literature on angiotensin II's mechanism of action, benefits, and future therapeutic opportunities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Describe a case of post-pneumonectomy vasoplegia managed with angiotensin II. Plasma renin activity was measured at specific time intervals to describe the relationship between endogenous renin activity and exogenous angiotensin II supplementation. DESIGN Case report. SETTING Spectrum Health Cardiothoracic Critical Care Unit. PATIENTS Fifty-seven-year-old male. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Plasma renin activity at five pre-determined time points. Angiotensin II caused a significant increase in mean arterial pressure and a rapid reduction in catecholamine vasopressor doses from 0.75 to 0.31 mcg/kg/min norepinephrine equivalents. Plasma renin activity drawn immediately before angiotensin II initiation was 40 ng/mL/hr (normal, 0.6-3.0 ng/mL/hr) with resultant drop to 22 and 12 ng/mL/hr at 2 and 6 hours after angiotensin II initiation, respectively. The patient suffered no end-organ damage and achieved a positive outcome, discharging home on postoperative day 11. CONCLUSION Exogenous angiotensin II reduced catecholamine vasopressor doses and had an apparent effect in reducing endogenous renin production in this case. Prospective research is warranted to determine the utility of angiotensin II and to better understand it effects on the dysfunctional renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system during vasoplegic shock.

Abstract
In the present work, we report compilation and analysis of 245 drugs, including small and macromolecules approved by the U.S. FDA from 2015 until June 2020. Nearly 29% of the drugs were approved for the treatment of various types of cancers. Other major therapeutic areas of focus were infectious diseases (14%); neurological conditions (12%); and genetic, metabolic, and cardiovascular disorders (7-8% each). Itemization of the approved drugs according to the year of approval, sponsor, target, chemical class, major drug-metabolizing enzyme(s), route of administration/elimination, and drug-drug interaction liability (perpetrator or/and victim) is presented and discussed. An effort has been made to analyze the pharmacophores to identify the structural (e.g., aromatic, heterocycle, and aliphatic), elemental (e.g., boron, sulfur, fluorine, phosphorus, and deuterium), and functional group (e.g., nitro drugs) diversity among the approved drugs. Further, descriptor-based chemical space analysis of FDA approved drugs and several strategies utilized for optimizing metabolism leading to their discoveries have been emphasized. Finally, an analysis of drug-likeness for the approved drugs is presented.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in the setting of shock. Hemodynamic instability is a risk factor for the development of AKI, and pathophysiological mechanisms include loss of renal perfusion pressure and impaired microcirculation. Although restoration of mean arterial pressure (MAP) may mitigate the risk of AKI to some extent, evidence on this is conflicting. Also debatable is the optimal blood pressure needed to minimize the risk of kidney injury. A MAP of 65 mm Hg traditionally has been considered adequate to maintain renal perfusion pressure, and studies have failed to consistently show improved outcomes at higher levels of MAP. Therapeutic options to support renal perfusion consist of catecholamines, vasopressin, and angiotensin II. Although catecholamines are the most studied, they are associated with adverse events at higher doses, including AKI. Vasopressin and angiotensin II are noncatecholamine options to support blood pressure and may improve microcirculatory hemodynamics through unique mechanisms, including differential vasoconstriction of efferent and afferent arterioles within the nephron. Future areas of study include methods by which clinicians can measure renal blood flow in a macrocirculatory and microcirculatory way, a personalized approach to blood pressure management in septic shock using patient-specific measures of perfusion adequacy, and novel agents that may improve the microcirculation within the kidneys without causing adverse microcirculatory effects in other organs.

Abstract
Vasoplegic syndrome is a common occurrence following cardiothoracic surgery and is characterized as a high-output shock state with poor systemic vascular resistance. The pathophysiology is complex and includes dysregulation of vasodilatory and vasoconstrictive properties of smooth vascular muscle cells. Specific bypass machine and patient factors play key roles in occurrence. Research into treatment of this syndrome is limited and extrapolated primarily from that pertaining to septic shock, but is evolving with the expanded use of catecholamine-sparing agents. Recent reports demonstrate potential benefit in novel treatment options, but large clinical trials are needed to confirm.

Abstract
Vasoplegia syndrome in the cardiac surgical intensive care unit and postoperative period has been an area of interest to clinicians because of its prevalence and effects on morbidity and mortality. However, there is a paucity of evidence regarding the treatment of vasoplegia syndrome during cardiopulmonary bypass (on-CPB VS). This review aims to detail the incidence, outcomes, and possible treatment options for patients who develop vasoplegia during bypass. The pharmacologic rescue agents discussed are used in cases in which vasoplegia during CPB is refractory to standard catecholamine agents, such as norepinephrine, epinephrine, and phenylephrine. Methods to improve vasoplegia during CPB can be both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic. In particular, optimization of CPB parameters plays an important nonpharmacologic role in vasoplegia during CPB. Pharmacologic agents that have been demonstrated as being effective in vasoplegia include vasopressin, terlipressin, methylene blue, hydroxocobalamin, angiotensin II (Giapreza), vitamin C, flurbiprofen (Ropion), and hydrocortisone. Although these agents have not been specifically evaluated for vasoplegia during CPB, they have shown signs of effectiveness for vasoplegia postoperatively to varying degrees. Understanding the evidence for, dosing, and side effects of these agents is crucial for cardiac anesthesiologists when treating vasoplegia during CPB bypass.

[PMID: 31279637 DOI: 10.1016/j.jemermed.2019.05.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2019] [Revised: 04/25/2019] [Accepted: 05/06/2019] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite multiple treatment options, antihypertensive overdose remains a cause of significant morbidity and mortality. Intravenous angiotensin II (AG II) is approved for use in vasodilatory shock. We describe 2 cases of refractory shock from antihypertensive overdose that were successfully treated using AG II. CASE REPORTS A 24-year-old female presented after an overdose of multiple antihypertensive medications, including an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI). She developed hypotension that was refractory to norepinephrine, epinephrine, and vasopressin, with a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 57 mm Hg 9 h after emergency department arrival. Fifteen minutes after starting AG II at 10 ng/kg/min, her heart rate and MAP rose by 7 beats/min and 12 mm Hg, respectively. Her hemodynamic parameters continued to improve thereafter. She developed acute kidney injury, which resolved prior to discharge. The second patient, a 65-year-old male, presented after an overdose of multiple antihypertensive medications, including an ACEI. Despite norepinephrine, epinephrine, and hyperinsulinemia-euglycemia, he remained bradycardic and hypotensive, with a heart rate of 47 beats/min and MAP of 59 mm Hg. Thirty minutes after starting AG II at 10 ng/kg/min, his heart rate was 61 beats/min and MAP was 66 mm Hg. He recovered without apparent sequelae. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?: Antihypertensive overdose can lead to shock refractory to catecholamine and vasopressin therapy. Our experience suggests that AG II is efficacious in antihypertensive overdose and may be particularly efficacious in instances of ACEI overdose. However, further study is required to confirm the appropriate indication(s).

Abstract
The Angiotensin II for the Treatment of Vasodilatory Shock (ATHOS-3) trial demonstrated the vasopressor effects and catecholamine-sparing properties of angiotensin II. As a result, the Food and Drug Administration has approved angiotensin II for the treatment of vasodilatory shock. This review details the goals of treatment of vasodilatory shock in addition to the history, current use, and recent research regarding the use of angiotensin II. An illustrative case of the use of angiotensin II is also incorporated for understanding the clinical utility of the drug.
