Cardiovascular effects of angiotensin A: A novel peptide of the renin-angiotensin system

Conclusions:
These data suggest that the existence of alternative peptides of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) might contribute to the limited effects of angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) in certain pathophysiological circumstances.
