Research on canine heartworm disease

In an interview with Darcy Adin, DVM, DACVIM (Cardiology), she explains the research she was a part of looking at how the the renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system (RAAS) can work in conjunction with dogs with heartworm disease. To learn more about RAAS and Dr Adin's work on it, check out this video.

The following is a partial transcript of the video.

Darcy Adin, DVM, DACVIM (Cardiology): We were interested in the RAAS cascade, it's not all bad, there's actually a good arm to it. And as I mentioned earlier, if we can modulate and kind of look at whether the good things can be enhanced and the bad things can be surpressed.
