Abstract:
Adrenomedullin (AM) is a novel vasoactive peptide. The actions of AM include vasodilatation, reduction of arterial pressure, inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell transference and proliferation, diuretic and natriuretic, inhibition of aldsterone secretion. Furthermore AM modulates extra cellular matrix deposition. So adrenomedullin plays an important role in the regulation of cardiovascular remodeling. This paper reviews the relationship between AM and cardiovascular remodeling.
