Ramipril shows favourable effects in hypertensive kids on maintenance haemodialysis

21 Jun 2022

In hypertensive children undergoing maintenance haemodialysis, ramipril helps improve biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction and inflammation in addition to its blood pressure (BP)-lowering benefits, a study has found.

What leads to device failure after TAVI for bicuspid aortic valve stenosis?

20 Jun 2022 by

Among patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) stenosis, the presence of excessive leaflet calcification plus calcified raphe alongside BAV (EC-BAV) significantly aggravates the risk of device failure following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), according to a recent study.

Liver stiffness tied to atrial fibrillation

19 Jun 2022

Liver stiffness appears to increase the likelihood of atrial fibrillation (AF), according to a recent sub-analysis of the Rotterdam Study. Fatty liver disease, on the other hand, does not affect AF risk.

Acetylsalicylic acid cuts out-of-hospital cardiac arrest risk

19 Jun 2022

The use of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) reduces the risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in both sexes, but appears to have a stronger effect on women, a recent study has found. Meanwhile, clopidogrel does not seem to affect OHCA risk.

Estimated pulse wave velocity, socioeconomic status predict stroke risk in men

18 Jun 2022

Estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) and socioeconomic status (SES) independently contribute to a higher risk of stroke in men, and the relationship between elevated ePWV and increased stroke risk remains whether an individual has high or low SES, according to a study.

GALACTIC-HF: Omecamtiv mecarbil benefit on CV events more pronounced in patients with low BP?

16 Jun 2022 by

The benefits of the selective cardiac myosin activator omecamtiv mecarbil on the risk of cardiovascular (CV) events in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) may be more evident in the difficult-to-treat population of patients with low systolic blood pressure (SBP), according to results of the phase III GALACTIC-HF trial presented at the Heart Failure 2022 annual congress.
