Abstract: Hypertensive vascular remodeling has always been a hot program in clinic and basic research.Renin-angiotensin system is an importent regulatory mechanism of human physiological function,which plays a fundamental role in vascular remodel- ing.RAS consists of two axes,ACE-AngII-AT1 receptor axis and ACE2-Ang(1-7)-Mas receptor axis.The former affects vasoconstriction and promotes vascular re-modeling through its key member,AngII;the latter offsets the effect of the mentioned AngII with the help of seven-peptide Ang-(1-7). A deep knowledge of the relation between RAS and vascular remodeling would provide more remedies for reducing cardiovascular risk.

Key words: Hypertension, Vascular remodeling, Renin-angiotensin system
