T15 240-330 Sentence denotes Unfortunately, currently, there is still no specific and effective treatment for COVID-19.
T16 331-489 Sentence denotes Evidence shows that elderly people with SARS-CoV-2 infections and cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, are at risk of developing severe cases [1].
T17 490-687 Sentence denotes A hypertension survey from 2012 to 2015 reported that 23.2% of Chinese people ≥18 years of age had hypertension, whereas the prevalence of hypertension was >55% among citizens ≥65 years of age [2].
T18 688-873 Sentence denotes RAS plays an important role in regulating electrolyte balance and blood pressure and comprises two pathways: the ACE/Ang II/AT1R pathway and the ACE2/Ang (1–7)/Mas receptor pathway [3].
T19 874-1091 Sentence denotes Under normal physiological conditions, the activity of the ACE/Ang II/AT1R axis and the ACE2/Ang (1–7)/Mas receptor axis are in a dynamic equilibrium state, maintaining the normal function of the corresponding system.
