AbstractDialysis patients show a high prevalence of cardiovascular complications among which left ventricular hypertrophy is one of the most frequent and is independently predictive of mortality. A recent study indicates that partial regression of left ventricular hypertrophy improves mortality and reduces cardiovascular events in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, suggesting the importance of targeting therapeutic strategies to reduce cardiac hypertrophy and improve the outcome in these patients. The pathogenesis of left ventricular hypertrophy in ESRD patients is multifactorial and includes hypertension, activation of the renin-angiotensin system, increased sympathetic activity, chronic volume overload, chronic anaemia and hyperparathyroidism. In this paper, we review the available experimental and clinical evidence showing the important contribution of the renin-angiotensin system as well as its interaction with the sympathetic nervous system in the pathogenesis of left ventricular hypertrophy in ESRD patients. Furthermore, we summarize the results of currently available clinical studies that examined the effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition or angiotensin receptor antagonism on left ventricular hypertrophy in ESRD patients, and review evidences that support the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor antagonists in the ESRD population.
