Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) involves several steps, including: When your blood pressure falls, your kidneys release the enzyme renin into your bloodstream. Renin splits angiotensinogen, a protein your liver makes and releases, into pieces. One piece is the hormone angiotensin I.
Detailed explanation-2: -Activated RAAS is an important contributor to changes in arterial and cardiac stiffness, characterized by elevated PWV, increased myocardial stiffness, abnormalities of cardiac diastolic relaxation, and later by hypertension and clinical heart failure.
