Do antihypertensive drugs raise odds of COVID-19 diagnosis, death?

12 Jan 2022 by

Antihypertensive therapy (AHT) may be used safely during the COVID-19 pandemic, as no evidence suggest that it can increase the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection or death, according to a UK study. In addition, most classes of antihypertensives are negatively associated with COVID-19 diagnosis.

PDEV inhibition falls short of improving renal response in patients with preheart failure

11 Jan 2022

The use of a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDEV) inhibitor in patients with preheart failure (pre-HF) does not appear to produce improvements in glomerular filtration rate and urinary sodium/cGMP excretion as compared with placebo, as shown in a study.

OAC treatment rates in AF patients improve but still far from ideal

10 Jan 2022

The treatment scope of oral anticoagulants (OACs) remains poor despite increasing treatment rates among high-risk atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, which is primarily credited to the expanding direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) use, reports an Israel study.

09 Jan 2022

A transseptal needle can be used to recanalize the complete long-segment occlusion of the superior vena cava (SVC) without needing to invest further vascular resources, a recent study has found.
