IV iron cuts risk of HF rehospitalization, CV death in ambulatory HFrEF patients
In a broad range of patients with HFrEF* and iron deficiency, the administration of IV ferric derisomaltose (FDI) was associated with a lower risk of recurrent hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) and cardiovascular (CV) death compared with standard of care (SoC), findings from the IRONMAN** trial have shown.

Esophagogastric junction biopsy may be forgone after endoscopic eradication of BE
Random histological sampling from the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) appears to hold low clinical relevance in patients who have undergone successful endoscopic eradication of all visible Barrett’s esophagus (BE), given that the incidence of intestinal metaplasia at the EGJ does not pose a higher risk of disease recurrence, according to a study.

Total ankle replacement vs arthrodesis: Which is better for ankle osteoarthritis?
Total ankle replacement (TAR) and ankle fusion (AF) or arthrodesis both improve the Manchester–Oxford Foot Questionnaire walking/standing (MOXFQ-W/S) domain scores in patients with end-stage ankle osteoarthritis at 52 weeks after surgery, reports a study. The two surgical treatments also show similar clinical scores and number of harms.

3-month rivaroxaban use safe, effective in isolated DVT
Treatment with rivaroxaban for 3 months leads to a safe and successful reduction of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk compared to treatment for 6 weeks in patients with isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a study has shown.

1-year isometric exercise training improves BP management
Isometric exercise training (IET) appears to be a good long-term intervention in managing resting blood pressure (BP), reports a recent study. IET delivers clinically important, chronic BP adaptations in patients at risk of hypertension.
