Article Synopsis
- - The diagnosis and treatment of cardiac lymphoma are often postponed because it's challenging to get heart tissue biopsies.
- - Using intracardiac echocardiography to guide the biopsy can lead to better outcomes for cardiac lymphoma patients.
- - This approach reduces complications from the biopsy and improves the quality of the samples, providing enough material for comprehensive analysis.
Background: The present study was conducted to examine the association of dietary salt intake with changes in serum sodium (srNa) levels when angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) treatment is changed to the combination of ARB plus low-dose diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide [HCTZ]).
Methods And Results: In 88 patients (age 70 ± 12 years), ARB treatment was switched to the combination therapy (same dosage ARB+12.5mg/day HCTZ).
