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.

Apixaban vs rivaroxaban in AF: Is one better than the other?

06 Jan 2022 by

Rivaroxaban was associated with a greater risk of major ischaemic or haemorrhagic events compared with apixaban in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) — suggesting that apixaban appears to be preferable over rivaroxaban when considering oral anticoagulant choice in these patients, according to a retrospective cohort study.
