candesartan cilexetil and Endomyocardial Fibrosis

candesartan cilexetil has been researched along with Endomyocardial Fibrosis in 3 studies

candesartan cilexetil: a prodrug which is metabolized to an active form candesartan to exert its biological effects

Endomyocardial Fibrosis: A condition characterized by the thickening of the ventricular ENDOCARDIUM and subendocardium (MYOCARDIUM), seen mostly in children and young adults in the TROPICAL CLIMATE. The fibrous tissue extends from the apex toward and often involves the HEART VALVES causing restrictive blood flow into the respective ventricles (CARDIOMYOPATHY, RESTRICTIVE).

( Dohi, K; Iwano, M; Kagoshima, T; Konishi, N; Masuda, J; Nakamura, Y; Sakaguchi, Y; Sutani, T; Tsuchihashi, M; Tsuruta, S, 1994)
"When candesartan cilexetil was administered to Bio TO2 hamsters, cardiac chymase-like activity increased significantly, whereas cardiac fibrosis decreased significantly."1.33Effect of Angiotensin II Type 1 receptor blocker on cardiac angiotensin-converting enzyme and chymase-like activities, and cardiac fibrosis in cardiomyopathic hamsters. ( Orito, K; Shimamura, S; Shimizu, M; Tanaka, R; Uchida, M; Yamane, Y, 2006)
"DOCA-salt hypertension was induced in 8-wk-old male Wistar rats by uninephrectomy and administration of DOCA (25 mg every fourth day, subcutaneously) and 1% NaCl in the drinking water for 4 wk."1.30Reversal of cardiac fibrosis in deoxycorticosterone acetate-salt hypertensive rats by inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system. ( Brown, L; Duce, B; Miric, G; Sernia, C, 1999)
