Previous studies have demonstrated that greater than 80% of angiotensin II (ANG II) formation in the human heart is from heart chymase and that less than 10% is from angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). This finding appears to be unique to the human heart; however, there has been no systematic comparison of ACE and chymase ANG II forming capacities in various animal species. Accordingly, we studied...
We have previously reported increased intracardiac angiotensin II (ANG II) levels in a dog model of volume overload hypertrophy produced by percutaneous chordal rupture of the mitral valve. Whether the increase in ANG II is mediated by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and/or heart chymase is unknown. Magnetic resonance imaging and high-fidelity pressure monitoring were performed on 8 adult mongrel...
