Discordance in investigator-reported and adjudicated sudden death in TIOSPIR [PDF]
Accurate and consistent determination of cause of death is challenging in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. TIOSPIR (N=17 135) compared the safety and efficacy of tiotropium Respimat 5/2.5 µg with HandiHaler 18 µg in COPD patients ...

The effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on the ‘forgotten’ right ventricle
Abstract With the progress in diagnosis, treatment and imaging techniques, there is a growing recognition that impaired right ventricular (RV) function profoundly affects the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF), irrespective of their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

In‐hospital and 1 year incremental prognostic value of drug abuse detection in acute heart failure
Abstract Aims The study aims to assess the in‐hospital and 1 year incremental prognostic value of recent drug abuse use, detected by a systematic urinary screening, in a consecutive cohort of patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF). Methods All patients admitted for AHF with a drug abuse screening using a urinary assay were included in this
