Prediabetes, Malignant Ventricular Hypertrophy and Stroke: The SPRINT Trial
ABSTRACT Aims Prediabetes and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) are common risk factors in adults with hypertension. Whether their coexistence, particularly in the presence of subclinical myocardial injury or stress (malignant LVH), confers a heightened stroke risk is unknown.

ABSTRACT Introduction Pharmacokinetic data suggest a potential dose‐dependent effect of sodium–glucose co‐transporter‐2 (SGLT‐2) inhibitors on surrogate markers of efficacy, but the impact of SGLT‐2 inhibitor dose on renal and cardiovascular outcomes remains uncertain.

ABSTRACT Aims Hypertension and diabetes frequently coexist, yet the net clinical impact of intentionally combining antihypertensive (AHTN) and antidiabetic (ADA) therapies on cardiovascular (CV) outcomes is uncertain. Here we quantified the effects of AHTN and ADA co‐therapy on CV and blood pressure (BP)/heart rate (HR) outcomes.

ABSTRACT Aims Heart failure (HF) is among the most costly and prevalent complications of type 2 diabetes (T2D), with annual incremental healthcare costs reaching US$12800 in Hong Kong. We evaluated the cost‐effectiveness of NT‐proBNP‐guided cardiovascular risk stratification to guide cardioprotective treatment. Materials and Methods We developed a four‐

ABSTRACT Aims Empagliflozin is renoprotective in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Our primary aim was to assess empagliflozin's effect on glomerular filtration rate and renal vascular resistance using multiparametric MRI (MpMRI). Our secondary aim was to assess the impact of empagliflozin on additional MpMRI‐derived metrics including markers of tissue ...
