02 May 2022 by

Among patients on concomitant treatment with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and dronedarone, no difference is seen in survival free from the composite endpoint (ie, clinically relevant bleeding, thromboembolic event, and all-cause death) and from clinically relevant bleeding between groups of coadministration, according to a study.

Statins yields greater cardioprotection in women than men

30 Apr 2022

Treatment with statins is effective at lowering cardiovascular disease risk, with the protective effect seemingly stronger in women than in men, according to a study. However, high-intensity regimens confer only minimal additional benefit in both sexes.

Bipolar ablation of heart arrhythmia safe, effective in lieu of failed unipolar approach

29 Apr 2022 by

Use of bipolar radiofrequency ablation (BRFA) is both safe and effective in selected patients who have failed at least one standard unipolar approach, suggest the results of a systematic review and meta-analysis. However, the quality of the supporting evidence is low.

PDE5 inhibitor plus nitrates do not induce adverse events in IHD patients

29 Apr 2022

Use of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors has increased 20-fold from 2000 to 2018, according to a study of Danish patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) who were taking nitrates. In addition, no statistically significant association has been observed between concomitant use of PDE5 inhibitors and cardiovascular adverse events.

Dapagliflozin most effective in frail patients with heart failure

28 Apr 2022

Treatment with dapagliflozin results in improvements in all outcomes, regardless of frailty status, among patients with symptomatic heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction, reports a study. However, “more frail” patients have larger absolute reductions.

28 Apr 2022

A recent study asserts that two blood pressure (BP) readings are enough unless the difference between the two readings is at least 10 mm Hg for both systolic (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP).
