Abstract

Aldosterone binds to the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), a transcription factor of the nuclear receptor family, present in the kidney and in various other non-epithelial cells including the heart and the vasculature (Cannavo et al., 2018). Indeed, extra-renal pathophysiological effects of this hormone have been characterized, extending its actions to the cardiovascular (CV) system (Messaoudi et al., 2012). A growing body of clinical and pre-clinical evidence suggests that MR activation plays an important pathophysiological role in CV remodeling by promoting cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, arterial stiffness, as well as in inflammation and oxidative stress (Bauersachs et al., 2015). The following review article outlines the role of MR in CV disease with a focus on myocardial remodeling and heart failure (HF) including clinical trials as well as cellular and animal studies.
