Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists: emerging roles in cardiovascular medicine
Spironolactone was first developed over 50 years ago as a potent mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist with undesirable side effects; it was followed a decade ago by eplerenone, which is less potent but much more MR-specific. From a marginal role as a potassium-sparing diuretic, spironolactone was shown to be an extraordinarily effective ...

ABSTRACT Aims The American Diabetes Association recommends achieving treatment goals (glycated haemoglobin ≤ 53 mmol/mol [7.0%], blood pressure < 130/80 mmHg, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol < 1.81 mmol/L and use of sodium–glucose cotransporter‐2 inhibitors or glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists), to reduce cardiovascular and kidney ...

Hyperaldosteronism in the Pathophysiology and Management of Cardiovascular‐Kidney‐Metabolic Syndrome
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular‐kidney‐metabolic (CKM) syndrome is defined by the pathologic interconnections between obesity, diabetes, chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. An important and underrecognized pathophysiologic factor underlying CKM syndrome is obesity‐induced aldosterone excess.

ABSTRACT Aims In a phase 2 trial, the efficacy and safety of the highly selective aldosterone synthase inhibitor vicadrostat, alone or with empagliflozin, were investigated in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D). Materials and Methods Adults (n = 586) with CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 30 to

Intramyocardial gene silencing by interfering RNA [PDF]
RNAi is a widely used methodology for gene silencing. The action mechanism of siRNA molecules has been well studiedin recent years, and the technique has been optimized in terms of safety and effectiveness. Cardiovascular diseases havea high incidence in

Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists are known to reduce proteinuria in chronic kidney disease, but their effectiveness in preventing bevacizumab‐related proteinuria has not been well established. In the present multi‐institutional retrospective study, we found that these agents significantly delay the onset of moderate or higher grade proteinuria ...

Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant public health challenge in Australia, affecting ~10% of the adult population and contributing to substantial morbidity and mortality. Diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and CKD frequently co‐exist; therefore, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to manage these ...

SGLT2 inhibitor use at discharge was associated with a reduced risk of heart failure readmission in elderly patients with diabetes, with no significant differences among individual agents. ABSTRACT Aims To evaluate the effect of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) administration at hospital discharge on heart failure (HF) readmission ...
