What is the cutoff value of serum uric acid for predicting heart failure?

26 Dec 2020

Serum uric acid (SUA) has been shown to be an independent predictor of the risk for all heart failure (HF) and fatal HF, after adjusting for potential confounding variables, a study has shown. In addition, a prognostic cutoff value has been identified for all and fatal HF.

ACE inhibitor–CCB combo benefits patients on tight BP control, with resistant hypertension

24 Dec 2020

In the management of patients with high blood pressure (BP) or resistant hypertension, calcium channel blockers (CCB) confer a more favourable benefit than hydrochlorothiazide when added to an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, according to a posthoc analysis of the of the ACCOMPLISH trial.
