Vascular remodeling occurs in the skeletal muscle of patients with severe congestive heart failure (CHF); this remodeling is mediated in part by increased activity of the renin-angiotensin system. Animal models suggest that in the vasculature, angiotensin II receptor type 2 (AT2-R) expression may be upregulated in pathological states associated with vascular remodeling. The therapeutic effects of an AT1-R antagonist may, therefore, be in part due to increased plasma angiotensin II levels, which stimulate AT2-R. However, whether AT2-R is expressed in the skeletal muscle vasculature of patients with severe CHF is unknown.
