To investigate the disease burden, clinical characteristics and independent risk factors affecting in-hospital outcomes of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) combined with heart failure (HF) in China. (1) Descriptive study: based on the global burden of disease study 2021, available data on children under 15 years of age with CHD and HF in China from 1990 to 2021 were collected. The prevalence and trends in different age subgroups (<1 year, 1-<2 years, 2-<5 years, 5-<10 years, 10-<15 years) were analyzed, and the annual percentage change (EAPC) was estimated using linear regression.

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious condition characterized by hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation. The exact cause of PE is unknown but may involve abnormalities in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). Genetic variations in angiotensinogen (AGT), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), and eNOS genes have been associated with PE.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) attributed to diabetes, termed diabetic kidney disease (DKD), is increasing with the rising global prevalence of diabetes. Patterns of DKD onset and progression have shifted in recent years because of population aging and advances in the treatment of diabetes. Prevention of the onset and progression of micro/macro-albuminuria is possible through comprehensive and strict management of lifestyle, blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipids in people with diabetes and early DKD.

Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs) represent a novel class of medications characterized by their dual action on major cardiorenal regulators, specifically the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and the natriuretic peptide (NP) system. Sacubitril/valsartan, a pioneering ARNI, has demonstrated strong antihypertensive effect as well as superior efficacy in preserving renal function compared to RAS inhibitors in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction. Here, we gathered evidence on the impact of sacubitril/valsartan on the preservation of kidney function in patients with cardiorenal syndrome (CRS).

Introduction: Hypertension is a chronic medical state and a major determining factor for cardiovascular and renal diseases. Both genetic and non-genetic factors contribute to hypertensive conditions among individuals. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a major genetic target for the anti-hypertension approach.
