Worsening renal function and outcome in heart failure patients with reduced and preserved ejection fraction and the impact of angiotensin receptor blocker treatment: data from the CHARM-study programme [PDF]

, 2016
Aims We investigated the association between worsening renal function (WRF) that occurs during renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibition initation and outcome in heart failure (HF) patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) and compared ...

Telmisartan reduces systemic inflammation and alters the renin-angiotensin system in mild COVID-19

Scientific Reports
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes COVID-19, a respiratory viral infection that disrupts renin angiotensin system (RAS) peptide metabolism by downregulating angiotensin converting enzyme-II (ACE2), leading to accumulation

Intravenous lanadelumab for the treatment of moderately ill COVID‐19 patients

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Kallikrein‐kinin system (KKS) dysregulation is hypothesized to play a pathogenetic role in COVID‐19‐associated pulmonary oedema. To investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous lanadelumab, a monoclonal antibody that inhibits plasma kallikrein, in COVID‐19, we conducted a phase 2, open‐label, randomized‐controlled, proof‐of‐concept ...

Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.

Mitral Transcatheter Edge‐to‐Edge Repair in Patients With Advanced Heart Failure: A Single‐Center Experience and Insights Into Anatomical and Clinical Determinants of Procedural Complexity

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Advanced heart failure (HF) remains a clinical challenge, and mitral transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair (M‐TEER) has emerged as a potential bridging strategy. Aims To describe the clinical outcomes of M‐TEER in a single‐center cohort of patients with advanced HF and to identify anatomical and clinical features potentially associated ...
