Comparison of Angiotensin II to Standard Dose Vasopressors on Change in Arterial Elastance (Ang2)

2026年4月28日 更新者:Siddharth Dugar、The Cleveland Clinic

Comparison of Angiotensin II to Standard Dose Vasopressors on Change in Arterial Elastance in Cirrhotic Patients With Vasodilatory Shock: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial

A study to see whether a medication called Angiotensin II works better than the routinely used medication to raise blood pressure in people with liver disease who are experiencing a serious drop in blood pressure.

The investigators want to find out if Angiotensin II can help the heart and blood vessels work together more effectively than standard treatments.

詳細な説明

Sepsis and septic shock remain associated with significant mortality, especially in cirrhotic where the mortality with septic shock exceeds 70%. Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is a well-recognized consequence of advanced liver dysfunction and is associated with a hyperdynamic circulatory state due to vasoplegia in this population. Our group has shown septic patients with cirrhosis had higher LV systolic function as assessed by Left ventricle Ejection fraction (LVEF %), stroke volume and cardiac output with a significantly higher percentage of patients with hyperdynamic state (LVEF > 70%) than those without cirrhosis.

The investigators measured arterial elastance and ventricular elastance using echocardiography and found cirrhotic patient to have significantly lower arterial elastance with higher ventricular elastance. AII (Angiotensin II) exert its effect after the hydrolysis of Ang-1 by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and is the principal product of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Advance cirrhosis is associated with reduction in Ang II levels accompanied by an increased Ang-(1-7)/Ang II ratio in the splanchnic circulation may be, at least in part, responsible for changes in vascular splanchnic tone. In addition, the relative decrease in Ang II compared to Ang (1-7), the vasodilator component of RAS causes hyperdynamic circulation from lower SVR in cirrhotic. This study also showed that with progression of liver disease leads to continual splanchnic vasodilation from higher Ang (1-7)/Ang II ratio. In advance stages this resultant hyperdynamic circulation is still insufficient to compensate for the effective arterial hypovolemia. Similar finding was observed in our large study, where the VAC was significantly lower in cirrhotic with sepsis shock despite elevation in LV elastance compared to non-cirrhotic with septic shock.

Angiotensin II, a naturally occurring octapeptide hormone increases blood pressure through various mechanisms, including vasoconstriction of peripheral vessels, potentiation of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) release, and direct actions on postganglionic sympathetic fibers. The external Ang II administration will be able to reverse the altered Ang (I-7)/Ang II ratio in systemic circulation reversing vasodilation. The investigators hypothesize that external administration of Ang II will cause a higher increase in SVR in cirrhotic with septic shock compared to Standard of Care (SOC) by decreasing arterial elastance restoring non-invasive arterial ventricular coupling.
