Uromodulin (UMOD) regulates tubular sodium handling and modulates NKCC2, the molecular target of loop diuretics (LD). Although UMOD variants have been associated with blood pressure and hypertension, their pharmacogenetic relevance in heart failure (HF) remains unknown.

Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonist for Renal Protection
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular and renal diseases. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), blockade of RAS by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) has been shown to reduce proteinuria and retard the progression of renal function deterioration ...

Hypertension in mice lacking 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 [PDF]
Deficiency of 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11beta-HSD2) in humans leads to the syndrome of apparent mineralocorticoid excess (SAME), in which cortisol illicitly occupies mineralocorticoid receptors, causing sodium retention, hypokalemia ...

Aldosterone Synthase Inhibitors for Cardiorenal Protection: Ready for Prime Time?
Background: Aldosterone is the principal mineralocorticoid hormone and the final effector of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. This hormone is primarily synthesized by the CYP11B2 enzyme and produced by the adrenal zona glomerulosa ...

Real‐world evidence (RWE) derived from real‐world data (RWD) can complement randomized controlled trials (RCTs), yet the validity of RWD relative to RCT data remains insufficiently characterized. We obtained post hoc consent and linked individual participant data from the US‐based INVESTED trial (2016–2019) with Medicare fee‐for‐service claims (2012 ...

Hormone treatments in congestive heart failure
The common ultimate pathological feature for all cardiovascular diseases, congestive heart failure (CHF), is now considered as one of the main public health burdens that is associated with grave implications. Neurohormonal systems play a critical role in

Abstract Socio‐economic status (SES) has been associated with incident and prevalent heart failure (HF), as well as its morbidity and mortality. However, the precise nature of the relationship between SES and HF remains unclear due to inconsistent data. This study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment and data synthesis of the relationship between

The Pharmacokinetics of the Nonsteroidal Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonist Finerenone
Finerenone, a selective and nonsteroidal antagonist of the mineralocorticoid receptor, has received regulatory approval with the indication of cardiorenal protection in patients with chronic kidney disease associated with type 2 diabetes. It is rapidly and completely absorbed and undergoes first-pass metabolism in the gut wall and liver resulting in a ...

Abstract Aim Heart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent condition managed in both primary care (PC) and hospital care (HC)‐based settings. HF patients managed in these two settings may differ in their demography, comorbidities and outcomes, so we aimed to compare the patient management in PC and HC in the Västra Götaland Region (VGR) in Sweden.
