Although guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) is an evidence-based, proven approach to manage chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes (CKD + T2DM), adherence is low and multifactorial. Opportunities exist to improve care delivery, thus delaying disease progression, avoiding unnecessary costs, and potentially improving quality of life for patients both diagnosed and yet to be diagnosed.

Randomized evidence on the role of heart failure guideline-directed medical therapy for patients with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is lacking. The present meta-analysis sought to investigate the prognostic impact of different pharmacotherapy categories recommended in heart failure on subjects with FMR. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify studies reporting the association of renin angiotensin system inhibitors (RASi), beta-blockers (BB), and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) with outcomes in FMR.

The increasing prevalence of heart failure (HF) has led to advancements in therapeutic strategies, including the development of new pharmacological treatments and the expansion of guideline recommendations across the spectrum of left ventricular ejection fractions. Despite these advancements, the full benefits of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) are often limited by various barriers that result in incomplete implementation or suboptimal responses. For patients who cannot tolerate or only partially respond to GDMT, therapeutic options remain limited.

Aim: Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (exCR) reduces morbidity and mortality after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Little is known about physical activity levels at exCR program completion and associated demographic, medical, and psychosocial factors.
Methods: Cross-sectional data from the ongoing Keep-Up-Going study was used, including 100 participants with recent ACS and >80% attendance to 3 months supervised exCR program.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is increasingly prevalent, with growing patient complexity. Understanding the quality of care delivered is key to optimising management.
Aims: To characterise HF care by a general medicine service compared to established quality indicators.
