Doctors recommend making fruits and vegetables a foundational part of the treatment of patients with hypertension. Diets high in fruits and vegetables are found to lower blood pressure, reduce cardiovascular risk, and improve kidney health due to their base-producing effects. A new study details the findings from a five-year interventional randomized control trial.

Researchers have developed a new compound, ZTA-261, that binds to thyroid hormone receptor beta (THR ). THR plays an important role in the regulation of lipid metabolism, which affects lipid levels in the blood. Mice administered the drug showed decreased lipid levels in the liver and blood, with fewer side effects in the liver, heart, and bones compared to existing compounds.

Myocardial infarction (MI) stands at top global causes of death in developed countries, owing mostly to atherosclerotic plaque growth and endothelial injury-induced reduction in coronary blood flow. While early reperfusion techniques have improved outcomes, long-term treatment continues to be difficult. The function of lncRNAs extends to regulating gene expression in various conditions, both physiological and pathological, such as cardiovascular diseases.

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has been used to improve the precision of valvular heart disease diagnosis and treatment. It has the ability to identify and risk stratify patients with valvular heart disease and holds promise in improving the innovation of new treatments through shorter, safer and more effective clinical trials. AI can help to guide the treatment of patients with valvular heart disease, by aiding in optimal device selection for transcatheter valvular interventions

Patients undergoing anthracycline-based cancer treatments have an increased risk of heart failure (HF) and adverse metabolic outcomes such as malnutrition and cachexia. This retrospective study explored the impact of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on these outcomes in HF patients previously treated with anthracyclines. Using the TriNetx research network, we identified 1,545 patients with a history of SGLT2i use and 17,681 without.

Guidelines recommend intravenous (IV) loop diuretics as first-line therapy for patients hospitalized with acute heart failure (AHF) and volume overload. Additional agents can be utilized for augmentation but there is limited guidance on agent selection. The study objective was to determine if chlorothiazide or metolazone is associated with differences in diuretic efficacy or safety in loop diuretic-resistant patients with AHF and renal dysfunction.

Dear Sirs, Sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors (dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, canagliflozin) are increasingly being prescribed in the primary-care setting for cardiovascular indications. SGLT2 inhibitors have been found to reduce the risk of all-cause mortality, heart failure (HF) hospitalisations and cardiovascular death in a wide range of HF patients.
