Angiotensin II is a hormone which is involved in cardiovascular homeostasis. Due to the crucial roles it plays in heart failure, diabetes and hypertension, there has been development of some pharmaceutical drugs (eg. angiotensin II receptor antagonists). These drugs can then be used in the clinical setting to treat hypertension and congestive heart failure.
