Were there any safety concerns specific to angiotensin II (Giapreza®/AT2S) use?
Label:chem
Topic
Theoretical risks of AT2S include tachyarrhythmias and thrombosis due to potent vasoconstriction and platelet activation.
Answer
Safety events were rare and similar between groups. Only three thrombotic events occurred in the entire cohort, and just one happened while the patient was receiving AT2S. New-onset tachyarrhythmias were infrequent (atrial fibrillation: 3 Black vs. 6 non-Black, p = 0.635) and not statistically different between cohorts, indicating that AT2S did not confer excess arrhythmic or thrombotic risk.
