We investigated the role of the interaction between hypertension and the renin-angiotensin system in the pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. We hypothesized that in the early phase of angiotensin II (ANG II)-dependent hypertension with developed left ventricular hypertrophy, c...
