Regulation of sodium/potassium ATPase activity: impact on salt balance and vascular contractility.

abstract：:Hypertension is an established risk factor for stroke, premature coronary artery disease and heart failure. Control of elevated blood pressure has been shown to result in significant reduction of cardiovascular risk. Aldosterone, the final product of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), not only causes sal...
