Deprescribing Antihypertensive Medications for Patients Aged 80 or Older
The treatment of hypertension in older adults is a major public health concern. Among the nearly 13 million persons in the United States aged 80 years or older, approximately 80% have high blood pressure (BP). Hypertension is the most potent modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease in older adults and has been strongly associated with stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, kidney failure, and dementia. Thus, defining optimal strategies for managing elevated BP in older individuals is a high priority.

The Difficulty Of Counting the COVID-19 Pandemic ’s Full Death Toll
Sara Wittner had seemingly gotten her life back under control.

The case for adding eicosapentaenoic acid (icosapent ethyl) to the ABCs of cardiovascular disease prevention.
Authors: Trivedi K, Le V, Nelson JR
Abstract
The high-purity eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) prescription fish oil-derived omega-3 fatty acid (omega-3), icosapent ethyl (IPE), was recently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention in high-risk patients. This approval is based on the 25% CVD event risk reduction observed with IPE in the pre-specified primary composite endpoint (cardiovascular [CV] death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, coronary revascularization, or hospitalization for unstable angina) in the landmark Reduction of Cardio...
