Article Synopsis
- A meta-analysis was conducted to compare the effectiveness of sacubitril-valsartan (S/V) versus angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) in preventing recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation.
- The study included four clinical trials with 642 total patients, showing that the S/V group had a significantly lower rate of persistent AF (RR: 0.54) and a reduction in left atrial volume compared to the ACEI/ARB group.
- While S/V appears more effective in reducing AF recurrence, the left ventricular ejection fraction did not differ significantly between the two treatments, highlighting the need for

Introduction: New therapies for resistant hypertension (RH), including renal denervation (RDN), have been studied.
Aim: Access the safety and effectiveness of radiofrequency-based RDN vs pharmacological treatment for RH.
Methods: A thorough literature search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane databases, focusing on studies that compared the effects of radiofrequency-based RDN versus pharmacological treatment for RH.
