Clinical implications of subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: The PARAGON ‐HF study
ConclusionsIn a large HFpEF population, impaired LV function was observed even among patients with preserved ejection fraction, and was associated with an increased risk of total HF hospitalizations or cardiovascular death, accounting for clinical confounders. These findings highlight the key role of subtle LV systolic impairment in the pathophysiology of HFpEF. (Source: European Journal of Heart Failure)

Rationale and protocol of the LAQUA-HF trial: a factorial randomised controlled trial evaluating the effects of neurohormonal and diuretic agents on health-status reported outcomes in heart failure patients
Introduction The current guidelines strongly recommend early initiation of multiple classes of cardioprotective drugs for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction to improve prognosis and health status. However, evidence on the optimal sequencing of approved drugs is scarce, highlighting the importance of individualised treatment plans. Registry data indicate that only a portion of these patients can tolerate all four recommended classes, underscoring the need to establish the favoured sequence when using these drugs. Additionally, the choice between long-acting and short-acting loop diuretics in the pres...

A Comparative Analysis of the Clinical Efficacy of Sacubitril Valsartan Sodium and Enalapril in Patients with Non-Valvular Ejection Fraction Reduction in Heart Failure
CONCLUSION: The main findings of the study showed that Sacubitril valsartan sodium showed better clinical efficacy than enalapril in patients with heart failure and non-valvular reduced ejection fraction. Specifically, the drug significantly improved patients' kidney function, reduced cardiovascular marker levels, and reduced the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events. These findings have important clinical implications for guiding treatment selection in patients with heart failure.PMID:38330576 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSince their discovery in valsartan-containing drugs, nitrosamine impurities have emerged as a significant safety problem in pharmaceutical products, prompting extensive recalls and suspensions. Valsartan, candesartan, irbesartan, olmesartan, and other sartans have been discovered to have additional nitrosamine impurities, such as N-nitroso-N-methyl-4-aminobutyric acid (NMBA), N-nitroso-Di-isopropyl amine (NDIPA), N-nitroso-Ethyl-Isopropyl amine (NEIPA), and N-nitroso-Diethyl amine (NDEA). Concerns about drug safety have ...

Management of Fluoropyrimidine-Induced Cardiac Adverse Outcomes Following Cancer Treatment
Cardiovasc Toxicol. 2024 Feb 7. doi: 10.1007/s12012-024-09834-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAdvancements in cancer treatments have improved survival rates but have also led to increased cardiotoxicities, which can cause adverse cardiovascular events or worsen pre-existing conditions. Herein, cardiotoxicity is a severe adverse effect of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) therapy in cancer patients, with reported incidence rates ranging from 1 to 20%. Some studies have also suggested subclinical effects and there are reports which have documented instances of cardiac arrest or sudden death during 5-FU treatment, highlighting the impor...
