Background: Latin American registries of clinical and demographic profiles of ACHD are scarce. International guidelines classify disease complexity with different approaches. With these two regards, a registry was carried out to examine factors associated with mortality and to compare severity classifications in our population.

Introduction: The American Heart Association (AHA/ACC) sets as a goal for blood pressure (BP) control not to exceed values of 130/80 mmHg, both in individuals with and without a diagnosis of hypertension (HT), standards not evaluated so far in the Argentine population. The objective was to determine the prevalence of high BP (HBP) in individuals with and without a diagnosis of HT taking into account the AHA/ACC criteria and to evaluate its association with sociodemographic and lifestyle factors.
Materials And Methods: Cross-sectional populationbased study in 911 persons >18 years of age in Córdoba, Argentina (period 2020-2022).

In the past decade, our understanding of heart failure pathophysiology has advanced significantly, resulting in the development of new medications such as angiotensin-neprilysin inhibitors, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and oral soluble guanylate cyclase stimulators. Backed by positive findings from large randomized controlled trials, recommendations for their use were recently included in the 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA guidelines and 2023 ESC guidelines for management of heart failure. Promising drugs for future heart failure treatment include agents that modulate the neurohormonal system, vasodilators, anti-inflammatory drugs, mitotropes, which improve deranged energy metabolism of the failing heart, and myotropes, which increase cardiac contractility by affecting cardiac sarcomere function.

Background: The 2022 AHA-ACC HFSA Guideline for Management of Heart Failure recommend initiating an angiotensin receptor/neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who can tolerate an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi). The manufacturer recommends initiating a 36-hour washout period when switching from ACEi to ARNI due to an increased risk of adverse effects, including angioedema. This study investigated the adherence to the washout period when transitioning from ACEi to ARNI at a community hospital.
