Semaglutide and BP, HF Risk Assessment Using Biomarkers, DAPT After Drug-Eluting Stenting in ACS

American College of Cardiology

In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at an individual patient data meta-analysis of semaglutide and blood pressure (BP). He then explores an analysis from COMBINE-AF on heart failure (HF) risk assessment using biomarkers in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Identification of Circulating Proteins Associated With Blood Pressure

Hypertension Journal

BACKGROUND:Circulating proteins in blood are involved in various physiological processes, but their contributions to blood pressure regulation remain partially understood. Colocalization analyses were then used to investigate whether the circulating proteins and blood pressure traits shared causal genetic variants.

Comparison of Ambulatory and Home Blood Pressure Variability for Cardiovascular Prognosis and Biomarkers

Hypertension Journal

BPV was evaluated by the SD, coefficient of variation, and average real variability of the patients’ 24-hour ambulatory and home systolic BP values.RESULTS:During the median 7.0-year year follow-up, 109 cardiovascular events occurred.

Hyperuricaemia elevates risk of short-term readmission and mortality in patients with heart failure

Open Heart

Results Baseline characteristics revealed significant differences between NUA and HUA groups, with the latter exhibiting a higher prevalence of males, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and elevated levels of various biomarkers. in the NUA group. to 1.72, p=0.001). Additionally, the risk increased across quartiles of SUA (P for trend=0.002).

Associations of Proteomics With Hypertension and Systolic Blood Pressure: KORA S4/F4/FF4 and KORA-Age1/Age2 Cohort Studies

Hypertension Journal

BACKGROUND:Hypertension, a complex condition, is primarily defined based on blood pressure readings without involving its pathophysiological mechanisms. Generalized estimating equations were used to estimate the associations of 233 plasma proteins with hypertension and systolic blood pressure (SBP). years of follow-up.
