Heart failure (HF) represents a significant global health challenge, characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates, decreased quality of life and a significant financial and economic burden. The prevalence of HF continues to rise, driven by an ageing population and an increasing burden of comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes and obesity. Understanding the complex pathophysiology and developing effective treatments are critical for improving patient outcomes, yet the range of effective, life-prolonging medication classes has remained mostly constant in the last few decades.

Article Synopsis
  • Heart failure and renal dysfunction often occur together, creating complex interactions that negatively affect patient outcomes.
  • The drug sacubitril/valsartan shows promise in improving heart and kidney health in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction, potentially slowing kidney function decline.
  • However, more evidence is needed to confirm its safety in preventing hyperkalemia and worsening kidney function, emphasizing the need for personalized treatment strategies and further research into heart-kidney interactions.

Article Synopsis
  • Home time, or the duration patients with cardiovascular disease spend alive outside of healthcare institutions, is an essential aspect of recovery, particularly for heart failure (HF) patients, yet insufficiently studied in India where HF rates are increasing.
  • Current literature falls short in identifying hospital-level trends and predictors of home time, which complicates the development of personalized care strategies to enhance health outcomes, functional status, and reduce hospitalization risks.
  • While guideline-directed medical therapy, especially sacubitril/valsartan (an angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor), is well-supported for improving life quality and reducing HF-related hospitalizations, its use remains low, indicating a critical need for better integration into clinical practice to improve patient recovery and home time post

Background: The mechanism underlying new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in adult cardiac surgery is not well understood. However, efficient pharmacological methods to prevent and treat arrhythmic complications are still lacking. In the present study, we explored the efficacy and safety of sacubitril/valsartan (sac/val) in the control of POAF in adult cardiac surgery patients.

Background: Whether angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events and improve peritoneal function in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients remains unclear. Thus, this study aims to clarify the role of ARNI in PD patients.

Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective study.
