The COVID-19 infection has rapidly spread globally, prompting a second wave in many countries. The Italian society of arterial hypertension's SARS-RAS study has significantly contributed to understanding the interaction between inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system and COVID-19 infection, shedding light on key aspects of mortality and morbidity associated with the disease.
The COVID-19 infection has rapidly spread around the world and a second wave is sweeping in many countries. Different clinical and epidemiological aspects characterize the disease and their understanding is necessary to better face the management of the pandemic in progress. The Italian society of arterial hypertension with the SARS-RAS study has contributed significantly to the knowledge of the interaction between inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system and COVID-19 infection. Furthermore, the study results help to understand some of the main aspects related to mortality and morbidity deriving from the infection through a multicentre analysis throughout the national territory.
