Impact of multimorbidity on mortality in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: which comorbidities matter most? An analysis of PARADIGM ‐HF and ATMOSPHERE
ConclusionsIn HF, the impact of multimorbidity differed at the individual patient and population level, depending on the prevalence of and the risk related to each comorbidity, and the interaction between individual comorbidities. Patients with coexistent PAD and stroke were at greatest individual risk whereas, from a population perspective, coexistent CKD and hypertension mattered most.

Contemporary Characteristics and Outcomes in Chagasic Heart Failure Compared With Other Nonischemic and Ischemic Cardiomyopathy Original Research Articles
Conclusions Despite younger age, less comorbidity, and comprehensive use of conventional HF therapies, patients with Chagasic HF with reduced ejection fraction continue to have worse quality of life and higher hospitalization and mortality rates compared with other etiologies.

Two ‐Year Outcomes of Patients Treated With Aliskiren Under Clinical Practice Conditions: Non‐Interventional Prospective Study
The authors investigated the long‐term effectiveness and safety of aliskiren (ALIS) with particular attention on its association with dual blockade of the renin‐angiotensin system (RAS). The open, prospective 3A Registry (N=8723) in Germany assigned patients in a 4:1:1 ratio to ALIS, angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), or non‐RAS drugs. Patients taking ALIS compared with those taking ACE inhibitors/ARBs or non‐RAS had more comorbidities and risk factors, were taking more antihypertensive agents, and had higher blood pressure (BP) values at entry. At 2 years, BP...

Aliskiren alone or with other antihypertensives in the elderly with borderline and stage 1 hypertension: the APOLLO trial
Conclusions Sizeable reductions in BP, with potential for substantial CVD reduction, can be safely achieved using combinations of BP drugs in the elderly with normal high and Stage 1 hypertension. Clinical trial registration NCT01259297.
