Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Jose F Kerr Saraiva"
- Jose F Kerr Saraiva's recent research primarily focuses on heart failure (HF) in elderly populations, particularly octogenarians, exploring their clinical characteristics and outcomes as well as treatment effectiveness.
- He has investigated the effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), specifically dapagliflozin, on heart failure outcomes and renal function in patients with mildly reduced and preserved ejection fraction, demonstrating the drug's efficacy and safety in these patient groups.
- Additionally, his work includes evaluating treatment options for ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in older patients, comparing half-dose tenecteplase with primary percutaneous coronary intervention to inform optimal treatment strategies for this vulnerable demographic.
