Finerenone confers consistent cardiorenal benefits in patients with CKD and T2D regardless of SGLT-2i use

17 Nov 2021 by

In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) who were receiving the novel nonsteroidal MRA* finerenone, use of SGLT-2is** at baseline did not influence treatment outcomes, according to a subgroup analysis of the FIDELITY*** trial presented at ASN 2021.

TAF rivals TDF for CHB suppression after orthotopic liver transplantation

17 Nov 2021 by

Switching from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) regimens to tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) monotherapy demonstrates long-term efficacy and safety in orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) recipients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, reports a study presented at The Liver Meeting Digital Experience 2021, by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD 2021).

Fenfluramine helps minimize day-to-day seizure burden in Dravet syndrome

17 Nov 2021

Treatment with fenfluramine in patients with Dravet syndrome (DS) appears to produce a marked reduction in day-to-day seizure burden and provide prolonged periods of convulsive seizure-free days, as shown in a study.

Insulin hypersecretion, not resistance, tied to arterial stiffness in young adults

17 Nov 2021

Postloading insulinaemia appears to be linked to arterial stiffness in young individuals, a recent Japan study has found. In contrast, insulin sensitivity (SI) shows no such effect.

Pacemaker-based cardiac neuromodulation therapy lowers SBP, pulse pressure in patients with ISH

17 Nov 2021 by

Adding BackBeat cardiac neuromodulation therapy™ (Backbeat CNT), a pacemaker-based treatment for hypertension, on top of medical therapy significantly reduces systolic blood pressure (SBP) and pulse pressure, without reducing diastolic blood pressure (DBP), compared with medical therapy alone in patients with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), according to a study presented at TCT 2021.
