Article Synopsis
- Researchers in Spain studied a serious brain condition called spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) over two years to see how often it happens, how it affects people, and how many survive.
- They looked at data from 550 patients, finding that about 21% died in the hospital and 27% within a year, but many did well after treatment.
- The study revealed that men tended to be younger and that those living in rural areas took longer to get to the hospital; it showed that improvements in treatment are needed to reduce deaths, especially in specific populations.

ESC Heart Fail
August 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of salt substitutes (saltSubs) for managing sodium intake in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) in France, focusing on healthcare professional (HCP) recommendations and patient consumption.
- Only 13% of HCPs recommended saltSubs, while 17% of patients and 22% of caregivers reported using them, with those recommended showing a recent hospitalization for acute heart failure.
- The findings revealed that patients advised to use saltSubs were less likely to follow guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMTs), particularly angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and related medications, indicating a potential conflict between saltSubs and standard CHF treatments.
