Selected Papers from the Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System (RAAS)2016: Official Satellite of ISH2016, from September 23 to 24 in Tokyo, Japan

Dear Colleagues,

Renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) blockers are the cornerstone of the treatment of cardiovascular disease and nephropathy. While there are currently four types of RAAS blockers (renin inhibitors, ACE inhibitors, AT1 receptor antagonists and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists), there have been many exciting new developments as well as alternative RAAS targets identified. Recent investigations have revealed a range of unanticipated extrarenal actions of aldosterone, as well as detailed insight in the genetic causes of primary aldosteronism.

This Special Issue will present a selection of contributions from the two-day RAAS2016 Symposium (http://www.congre.co.jp/raas2016/) convened by Presidents Prof. Sadayoshi Ito (Sendai) and Prof. Jan Danser (Rotterdam) in Tokyo 23–24 September, 2016, immediately prior to the 26th Meeting of the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) which will be held in Seoul, Korea.

All speakers presenting a paper at this conference can submit a manuscript for publication. For further information contact the Editorial Office (ijms@mdpi.com).
