Background: Ceramide and phosphatidylcholine lipids-based risk score (CERT2) has shown a strong prognostic value in predicting cardiovascular (CV) events in patients with ischemic heart disease. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of CERT2 risk score in patients with heart failure (HF).
Methods: The current study combines data for 4234 subjects from the COMMANDER-HF trial and 1227 subjects from the GISSI-HF trial, which enrolled patients with a history of HF.
Background: Bladder dysfunction entails overactive bladder (OAB) defined as symptoms of urinary urgency, frequency, and/or nocturia with or without incontinence if there is no obvious pathology or infection or lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) that includes recognized causes of bladder dysfunction.
Methods: Literature search.
Results: Symptoms of OAB are reported in about 15% of the adult US population.
Aims: Biomarkers associated with asymptomatic ventricular dysfunction might improve risk stratification and identify pathways leading to heart failure (HF). We explored the association between proteomic biomarkers and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), diastolic dysfunction (DD) and incident HF in three population-based cohorts.
Methods And Results: A chip was used to measure 92 protein biomarkers in blood samples from >1500 Malmö Preventive Project (MPP) participants, of whom 514 had LVH (34%), 462 had DD (32.
Article Synopsis
- Study investigates the use of patiromer, a potassium binder, to improve the effectiveness of RAAS inhibitors in patients with heart failure and hyperkalemia.
- In a trial with over 1,000 patients, those with hyperkalemia were able to optimize their medication while on patiromer, showing a slight reduction in serum potassium levels compared to placebo.
- Results suggest patiromer helps patients with current hyperkalemia maintain optimal doses of medication more effectively than those with a history of hyperkalemia, enhancing treatment outcomes for heart failure management.
Article Synopsis
- Hyperkalemia (HK) impacts the effectiveness of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
- The study analyzed patients with HFrEF and either HK or a history of HK during a run-in phase designed to optimize their RAS inhibitor and MRA doses using patiromer.
- Results showed significant increases in the use of RAS inhibitors and MRAs among patients meeting the optimization criteria, indicating that patiromer helped enhance treatment for those with HK or a history of HK.
