title: [Physiopathology of angiotensin II and vascular lesion].
abstract: The Authors report, in this article, about pathophysiology mechanism that is to the base of the vascular injury mediate from the Angiotensin II able of modulate the primer, the acceleration and the progression of the atherosclerosis. Afterward is considered the importance of the administration of the inhibiting of the receptors AT-1 (Losartan) in the control of the hypertension and of the atherosclerosis.
