Gender differences in angiotensin II and aldosterone secretion in patients with pressure overloaded systemic right ventricles are similar to those observed in systemic arterial hypertension

Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis activation in patients with systemic right ventricles was similar to reported values in other studies of stable heart failure. The gender differences in aldosterone levels in patients with systemic right ventricles were similar to that associated with left ventricular remodeling in systemic arterial hypertension.
