Pulse pressure and aortic valve peak velocity and incident heart failure after myocardial infarction: a cohort study

Heart BMJ

Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a recognised outcome in patients with myocardial infarction, although heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is more common. Among patients with myocardial infarction, a 1-SD increase in pulse pressure was associated with a 1.60-fold

Pulse pressure and aortic valve peak velocity as new predictors of heart failure in patients post-myocardial infarction

Heart BMJ

Heart failure (HF) is one of the significant complications in patients with myocardial infarction (MI), leading to increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Common predictors include older age, prior hypertension, diabetes and atrial fibrillation. HFrEF is more commonly.

Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in Heart Failure: An Update

Circulation: Heart Failure

Spironolactone improved outcomes in patients with severely symptomatic HF with reduced ejection fraction, and later, eplerenone expanded the benefits to patients with mildly symptomatic HF with reduced ejection fraction and myocardial infarction complicated by HF.

Dapagliflozin and Apparent Treatment-Resistant Hypertension in Heart Failure With Mildly Reduced or Preserved Ejection Fraction: The DELIVER Trial

Circulation

BACKGROUND:Apparent treatment-resistant hypertension (aTRH) is prevalent and associated with adverse outcomes in heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction. Less is known about the potential role of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibition in this high-risk population. per 100 patient-years).

Expert Perspective: The Obesity Paradox with Salvatore Carbone, PhD

Cardiometabolic Health Congress

There are significant data that show that if you have obesity, you have a high risk of developing coronary heart disease, heart failure, type 2 diabetes (T2D) or risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia. [1] I think we live in a very exciting time right now for those who work in diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Cardiology Update

EMPACT-MI 1 ( NCT04509674 ) studied the effects of empagliflozin in patients who have experienced myocardial infarction (MI). STEP-HFpEF DM 5 ( NCT04916470 ) explored the effects of semaglutide in obesity-related HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and type 2 diabetes. in the medical therapy group.
