Abstract excerpt
<h4>Graphic Abstract</h4> <h4>Objective</h4> A cardinal feature of Marfan syndrome is thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). The contribution of ligand-dependent stimulation of angiotensin II receptor type 1a (AT1aR) to TAA progression remains controversial because the beneficial effects of angiotensin receptor blockers have been ascribed to off-target effects. This study used genetic and pharmacologic modes of attenua...
