A 240-year-old drug called digoxin could save the National Health Service (NHS) at least 100 million each year when treating older patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure. This was compared to usual treatment with a beta-blocker according to a new study from the University of Birmingham, the city where digoxin was first used in 1785.

High blood pressure is one of the biggest killers on the planet. As a risk factor, it is responsible for more early deaths than any other risk factor 1. It impacts over 1 billion people. But here is the real problem. It is silent. Most people do not know when they have high blood pressure. And even when they do, it is usually not managed correctly. Getting this wrong is costing lives on a global scale.

Panelists discuss how the coexistence of heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) requires careful management as these conditions significantly impact each other. In stable COPD, cardiovascular complications are a leading cause of mortality, whereas acute exacerbations can worsen heart function. Key treatable traits in COPD-associated pulmonary hypertension include hypoxemia, inflammation, and right ventricular dysfunction.

Life-threatening complications of infective endocarditis (IE,) are heart failure, uncontrolled infection and embolic events (EE), which pose significant morbidity and mortality risks. EE from vegetation rupture are frequent, occurring in more than 50% of patients and can lead to ischaemic stroke and systemic organ infarctions, contributing to poor patient outcomes.

We implemented a remote hypertension management program that monitored home BP and titrated medications per algorithm. This study assessed the programs long-term effects by examining participants office BP up to 42 months post-enrollment.METHODS:Participants of the remote hypertension program were catego

IntroductionMales and females differ anatomically and functionally in cardiorespiratory regulation, with males tending to experience greater oxygen desaturation under hypoxia. Therefore, sex might moderate cardiorespiratory responses to acute hypoxia exposure. Accordingly, we hypothesized that sex differences in cardiovascular and ventilatory responses would be more pronounced with equal hypoxia duration (iso-time) but less pronounced at similar oxygen desaturation levels (iso-saturation).Method
