Dapagliflozin cuts risk of total HF events, CV deaths in HF patients
In a prespecified analysis of the DELIVER* study, the sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor dapagliflozin reduced the rate of total** heart failure (HF) events or cardiovascular (CV) deaths in HF patients with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFmrEF or HFpEF).

16 Aug 2023Risk of hypertension higher with DTG in PLWH
In the secondary analysis of the NAMSAL and ADVANCE trials, first-line treatment with dolutegravir (DTG) was associated with significantly higher risks of treatment-emergent hypertension in people living with HIV (PLWH), especially in combination with tenofovir alafenamide (TAF).

15 Aug 2023Does PCOS increase cardiovascular risk in women?
A strong association exists between polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and cardiovascular risk factors, but women with PCOS 40‒60 years of age are not at greater risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, suggest the results of a study presented at the recent ESHRE 2023.

10 Aug 2023Impaired RV function, pulmonary coupling tied to hospitalizations, death in HFpEF patients
Worsening right ventricular (RV) function normally occurs in patients with heart failure and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF) and, along with its ratio to pulmonary pressure, is predictive of a higher risk of HF hospitalizations and cardiovascular death, reports a study.

09 Aug 2023GLP-1 RA, with or without SGLT2 inhibitors, prevents cardiac events in T2D
Treatment with the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) albiglutide results in fewer cardiovascular events, irrespective of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor use, among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease, according to the post hoc analysis of Harmony Outcomes*.
