Renin-angiotensin systems may mediate cardiovascular disease pathogenesis through a balance of actions of angiotensin II on (potentially proatherogenic) constitutive type 1 (AT1R) and (potentially antiatherogenic) inducible type 2 (AT2R) receptors. We explored such potential roles in a prospectiv...
