Thermooxidation of Four Sartans: Kinetic Analysis Based on Thermo-Gravimetric Data.

Angiotensin II receptor antagonists are tetrazole derivatives used in the treatment of high blood pressure, and are also indicated for the treatment of heart failure (NYHA class II-IV). They are used alone or in combination with other classes of antihypertensives or diuretics for the effective management of high blood pressure. In this study, we aim to evaluate the thermal stability and degradation kinetics for the principal compounds used in therapy from this class, namely telmisartan, valsartan, olmesartan medoxomil, and losartan potassium.

Concomitance of Pericardial Tamponade and Pulmonary Embolism in an Invasive Mucinous Lung Adenocarcinoma with Atypical Presentation: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Pitfalls-Case Report and Literature Review.

The invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lungs (LIMA) is an uncommon histological subtype of the mucinous adenocarcinoma. In this article, we present the case of a patient with a very high cardiovascular risk profile, diagnosed with LIMA, pericardial tamponade due to secondary dissemination, and pulmonary embolism, whose management rouses many challenges. Despite receiving the correct anticoagulant and antiaggregant therapy, our patient developed repeated acute major cardiovascular events leading to a fatal outcome.

Comorbidities, Treatment and Survival Rates of Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension in a Regional Centre.

: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is characterized by a multitude of underlying causes, treatment modalities and prognostic outcomes. Our aim was to evaluate the underlying causes, comorbidities and survival rates of CTEPH patients. : A retrospective analysis was conducted regarding the evolution of CTEPH patients confirmed by right heart catheterization under treatment with specific vasodilator medication in our centre between 2008 and 2023.
