A diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 myocardial infarction (MI) following hospitalization for gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) often leads to higher in-hospital mortality and resource utilization, results of a recent US study have shown.

Cardiovascular medications, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs)/angiotensin receptor blocker (ARBs) and anticoagulants, do not induce poor clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19 and thus should not be discontinued, suggest the results of a meta-analysis.

In pregnant women with a history of venous thromboembolism (VTE), receipt of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) at either a weight-adjusted intermediate-dose or fixed low-dose during the antepartum and postpartum periods results in similar VTE incidence, according to findings of the Highlow study. However, there was a numerically lower incidence of VTE during the postpartum period with intermediate-dose LMWH.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are superior to glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in reducing renal outcomes among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Hong Kong, a real-world population-based study by the University of Hong Kong has shown.
