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.

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.
