Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) possess a pronounced risk for cardiovascular events. A noninvasive left ventricular pressure-strain loop (LV-PSL) has recently been introduced to detect subtler changes in cardiac function. This study aims to investigate the value of LV-PSL for quantitative assessment of myocardial work (MW) in patients with CKD.

Methods: Seventy-five patients with CKD were enrolled retrospectively (37 patients with CKD Stages 2-3, and 38 patients with CKD Stages 4-5), and 35 healthy volunteers were included as controls. All subjects underwent transthoracic echocardiography. LV-PSL analysis was performed to estimate LV MW and efficiency. Global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work (GWW), and global work efficiency (GWE) were obtained by echocardiography, and the differences among the groups were compared.

Results: There was a significant increase in GWW and reduction in GWE in patients with CKD compared to normal controls (p < 0.05). No significant difference in GWI and GCW was observed among the three groups. Multiple linear regression revealed that increased GWW was significantly associated with age, serum creatinine, and systolic pressure, and decreased GWE was associated with age, serum creatinine, and GLS.

Conclusion: LV-PSL can be used for noninvasive quantitative assessment of MW in patients with CKD, providing a new sensitive approach for the clinical assessment of myocardial function.

Opioid prescribing patterns and the effect of chronic kidney disease in pediatric urology population: A retrospective cohort analysis.

Background: Significant efforts have been undertaken to decrease opioid prescribing, but there is little research into patient-specific factors presenting as barriers in the pediatric surgical population. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been shown to be a safe and effective alternative to opioids for pain control, however, concerns about their impact on renal function limit their use in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Data is limited on the interplay of CKD on opioid prescribing.

Background And Aim: Recent Mendelian randomization and meta analysis suggest a controversial causality between C3-epimer of 25 hydroxyvitamin D3 (C3-epi-D3) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The clinical evidence regarding the impact of C3-epi-D3 on the progression of T2DM is currently insufficient. This study aims to investigate whether C3-epi-D3 has any effect on metabolic disorders of T2DM patients.

Background: Patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis are a vulnerable population with associated cardiac damage and a significant comorbidity burden. This study aimed to determine the rate, factors associated with, and prognostic value of poor functional status (NYHA class III-IV) in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Methods: This multicenter study included 6,363 transarterial TAVR patients, classified according to baseline functional status (NYHA class I-II vs.

Association of trimethylamine N-oxide and metabolites with kidney function decline in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Background: Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a gut microbial metabolite derived from dietary l-carnitine and choline. High plasma TMAO levels are associated with cardiovascular disease and overall mortality, but little is known about the associations of TMAO and related metabolites with the risk of kidney function decline among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Methods: We prospectively followed 152 nondialysis patients with CKD stages 3-5 and measured plasma TMAO and related metabolites (trimethylamine [TMA], choline, carnitine, and γ-butyrobetaine) via liquid chromatography‒mass spectrometry.

Background: To evaluate whether sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) enables the uptitration of spironolactone without increasing the risk of hyper- and hypokalemia in patients with heart failure with reduced and mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF and HFmrEF) and moderate/severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) who developed hyperkalemia during treatment with suboptimal spironolactone dose.

Methods: The REGISTA-K is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial that examined the efficacy and safety of SZC in uptitrating spironolactone without the occurrence of hyperkalemia or hypokalemia. A total of 266 patients with HFrEF and HFmrEF and hyperkalemia will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either SZC or placebo after treating hyperkalemia with SZC at 25 sites in Japan.
