Hydroxyurea treatment for sickle cell anemia during pregnancy and lactation: current evidence and knowledge gaps
AbstractSickle cell anemia (SCA) is a life-threatening genetic condition contributing to high-risk pregnancies affecting both the mother and fetus. With improved management of children with SCA, this life-threatening hematological disorder has evolved into a chronic disease of adults, and consequently parenthood has now become a possible and important life goal for many patients. Providing continuous management with healthy red blood cell function and avoiding SCA-associated complications, such as pain crises, acute chest syndrome, and stroke, are crucial for a healthy pregnancy. Despite its excellent safety profile in non...

Effects of GLP ‐1 receptor agonists on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
ConclusionsPooled analysis of clinical trials reporting separate cardiovascular events rates in patients with T2DM and CKD did not find GLP1-RA to be associated with a reduction in composite cardiovascular event rates. Select GLP1-RA may offer cardiovascular event reduction in patients with T2DM and CKD, but this does not appear to be a class effect. Use of GLP1-RA with demonstrated cardiovascular benefits should be preferred in patients with CKD and T2DM to further reduce cardiovascular risk.

Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors and risk of antihypertensive treatment intensification and major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with stable hypertension and depression
ConclusionsAmong patients with stable hypertension and depression, initiation of serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors had a similar risk of antihypertensive TI and MACE compared to initiation of SSRIs. Future study with a larger sample size is needed to confirm our findings.

Use of oral anticoagulants among individuals with cancer and atrial fibrillation in the United States, 2010 –2016
ConclusionsNearly 7 out of 10 patients with cancer and NVAF did not receive anticoagulation. Use of DOACs increased from 2010 to 2016, with a corresponding decline in warfarin use. DOACs are used less than warfarin among those at higher risk of stroke.

Apixaban and rivaroxaban use for atrial fibrillation in patients with obesity and BMI ≥50 kg/m2
ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that apixaban and rivaroxaban in patients with a BMI ≥50 kg/m2 for treatment of NVAF may be safe and effective at preventing thromboembolic events and had no increased risk of bleeding. Although, findings should be interpreted with caution and confirmed with additional studies. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence that direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) may be effective and safe to use for the treatment of NVAF in patients with BMI ≥50 kg/m2.

Meta ‐analysis of clinical outcomes of PCSK9 modulators in patients with established ASCVD
AbstractThe advent of monoclonal antibodies targeting proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) ushered in a new era of dyslipidemia pharmacotherapy. The first two antibodies targeting PCSK9 (evolocumab, alirocumab) approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provided significant and sustained reductions in atherogenic lipids and a reduced risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events. More recently, phase 3 trials of inclisiran —a small interfering RNA-based agent targeting PCSK9—reported similar lipid-lowering effects and preliminary evidence of ASCVD risk reduction, a...

Meta ‐Analysis of Clinical Outcomes of PCSK9 Modulators in Patients with Established ASCVD
ConclusionThese findings suggest a class effect for favorable lipid changes and a low risk of serious adverse events among pharmacologic agents targeting PCSK9. Although there is compelling evidence that PCSK9-targeting agents reduce the risk of some cardiovascular outcomes, adequately powered studies with longer follow-up may be needed to fully characterize the magnitude of benefits across the cardiovascular spectrum.

Renin ‐angiotensin‐aldosterone System Inhibitors and Major Cardiovascular Events and Acute Kidney Injury in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
ConclusionsThis study supports the continued use of RAASIs in patients with CAD, although the benefit appears smaller in magnitude than observed in prior trials. High-risk patients, particularly those with prior MI, appear to benefit the most from RAASIs.
