Discontinuation and reinitiation of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction

European Journal of Heart Failure

BMI, body mass index; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; NYHA, New York Heart Association. Discontinuation occurred early and was more common in patients with advanced kidney disease, hyperkalaemia, lack of follow-up in specialty care, more severe heart failure, comorbidities, and markers of sociodemographic frailty.

Association between “Life's Essential 8” cardiovascular health and apparent treatment-resistant hypertension among US adults from the NHANES, 2005 to 2018

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Physical activity (PA), body mass index (BMI), and blood glucose were associated with aTRH (all p-values<0.05), while diet, nicotine exposure, sleep, and blood lipids were not significantly associated with aTRH. Compared to subjects with low CVH, participants with moderate and high CVH exhibited lower risks of 47% and 76%, respectively.
