title: [Effect of the cardiac renin-angiotensin system on hypertrophy].
abstract: The existence of a cardiac renin-angiotensin-system is confirmed. An influence of AII on growth and mitosis of various cells contributing to cardiac hypertrophy has been shown. Prove for a clinical role would be prevention of hypertrophy and of its complications in patients by specific AII-receptor antagonists in a state of a not-activated systemic renin-angiotensin-system and in absence of mechanical effects. This prove is difficult to obtain.
