Emerging therapies: Potential roles of SGLT2 inhibitors in the management of pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a pathophysiological disorder that may involve multiple clinical conditions and may be associated with a variety of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease (PH-LHD) currently lacks targeted therapies, while Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), despite approved treatments, carries considerable residual risk. Metabolic dysfunction has been linked to the pathogenesis and prognosis of PH through various studies, with emerging metabolic agents offering a potential avenue for improving patient outcomes.

Effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on anemia and their possible clinical implications
Nefrologia (Engl Ed). 2024 Apr 10:S2013-2514(24)00069-5. doi: 10.1016/j.nefroe.2024.03.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have demonstrated cardiovascular and renal benefits in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease. Since the first studies with these drugs, an initial increase in hemoglobin/hematocrit levels was observed, which was attributed to an increase in hemoconcentration associated with its diuretic effect, although it was early appearent that these drugs increased erythropoietin levels and erythropoiesis, and improved iron...

Heart failure management with β-blockers: can we do better?
Curr Med Res Opin. 2024;40(sup1):43-54. doi: 10.1080/03007995.2024.2318002. Epub 2024 Apr 10.ABSTRACTHeart failure (HF) is associated with disabling symptoms, poor quality of life, and a poor prognosis with substantial excess mortality in the years following diagnosis. Overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system is a key feature of the pathophysiology of HF and is an important driver of the process of adverse remodelling of the left ventricular wall that contributes to cardiac failure. Drugs which suppress the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, including β-blockers, are foundation therapies for the...

The highlights of dialysis in 2023
Nephrol Ther. 2024 Apr 11;20(S1):5-15. doi: 10.1684/ndt.2024.66.ABSTRACTThere has been a wealth of new developments in dialysis this year with the publication of several trials relating to dialysis technique, physical activity and the use of new dialysis treatments. Quality of life should be assessed and managed in all dialysis patients. Lowering the temperature of the dialysis bath in the MyTemp trial does not appear to have an effect on mortality and cardiovascular events. High volume convective hemodiafiltration currently represents the reference technique in hemodialysis; the Convince study confirms its superiority in ...
