EMCrit 280 – Who Should Get Angiotensin II with Rinaldo Bellomo
I did an initial EMCrit episode on Angiotensin II when the Athos 3 trial was fist published. Today, now that the drug has been available for a while, I wanted to hear from someone smart, with no financial conflicts of interest, on when to actually use this medication.
Rinaldo Bellomo MD PhD
Dr. Bellomo's Bio is too extensive to place here, please check out his Monash Page. Suffice it to say that he is a total badass as a clinical intensivist and a critical care researcher.
