Abstract

The potent vasoconstrictor peptide endothelin-1 has long been recognized as a physiological regulator of vascular tone. However, pharmacological blockade of the endothelin-1 pathway has few proven indications thus far. A recent clinical trial for resistant hypertension published in The Lancet may yet herald a new era for endothelin receptor antagonists into the clinical mainstream.
