BP levels on the rise during the COVID-19 pandemic

22 Dec 2021 by

Among the many damages that COVID-19 pandemic has brought about, researchers found that increase in blood pressure levels (BP) was one of them, at least among US adults — which could have far reaching health consequences in the long term.

Hypotension prevents boosting of sacubitril/valsartan doses for Asians with ACHD-related HF

21 Dec 2021 by

The angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI) sacubitril/valsartan does not appear to help manage heart failure (HF) in Asian patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD), with a small study from Singapore showing that the drug can only be tolerated at suboptimal doses and that hypotension prevents uptitration.

Is continuous infusion labetalol haemodynamically safe for type B aortic dissections?

21 Dec 2021

Treatment with high-dose continuous intravenous labetalol (HD-CIVL) results in a nonstatistically significant higher incidence of haemodynamic instability compared to an esmolol combination (EC) regimen in patients with type B aortic dissections (TBADs), results of a study have shown.

COVID-19 causes lighter heart damage during second vs first wave of infections

20 Dec 2021

In fatal cases of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), cardiac inflammation, cardiomyocyte injury, and microvascular thrombogenicity are substantially lower in the second vs first wave of infections, a new study has found.

Coffee good – or bad – for the heart

20 Dec 2021 by

Daily coffee intake is tied to increased physical activity and incidence of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) but fewer episodes of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and less nighttime sleep in the CRAVE* trial.

Clinical judgment falls short of accurate hypotension prediction during intermittent haemodialysis

18 Dec 2021

Clinical judgment of hypervolemia is often insufficient to predict hypotension during intermittent haemodialysis, a recent study has found. Using the vascular pedicle width may help clinicians in this regard.

Ambulatory better than central BP at predicting death, cardiovascular events in dialysis patients

18 Dec 2021

Central blood pressure (BP) is associated with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events in haemodialysis patients, reveals a study. However, its prognostic value is not superior to ambulatory peripheral BP.

Tadalafil plus antihypertensives yield no excess risk of hypotension, cardiac events

18 Dec 2021

The use of tadalafil with antihypertensive medications does not seem to cause an excess risk of hypotensive or cardiovascular outcomes in men with erectile dysfunction (ED), a recent real-world study has found.

Apixaban outdoes rivaroxaban at preventing VTE, bleeding in adults

17 Dec 2021

Patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) who are new users of apixaban are less likely to experience recurrent VTE and bleeding than new users of rivaroxaban, a study has shown.
