Abstract
The renin-angiotensin system has received considerable attention in the last several years and is one of a variety of vasoactive substances that are known to be important in controlling blood pressure. The presentation will focus on how the various aspects of the renin-angiotensin system may have important implications for the anesthesiologist. It should be remembered, though, that this is only one of many vasoactive substances and may be a model with which to look at other agents that are known to affect blood pressure. Certainly with the newer information that is now available and the recently synthesized drugs that affect the renin-angiotensin system, we, as anesthesiologists, are now seeing patients who are being treated with these agents both prior to operation and immediately after operation.
