Dyslipidaemia, Chronic Kidney Disease and Diabetes Mellitus: A Triple Threat to Cardiovascular Health

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently coexist and together create a ‘triple threat’ with dyslipidaemia, enhancing the risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) leads to altered lipid metabolism through insulin resistance, inflammation and oxidative stress resulting in an ...

Improving primary aldosteronism diagnosis and treatment: outcomes from an endocrine hypertension service

open access: yesInternal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims To evaluate the sustained impact of the Endocrine Hypertension Service on primary aldosteronism (PA) diagnosis and management over a subsequent 3‐year period. Background PA is a prevalent yet underdiagnosed cause of secondary hypertension, associated with increased cardiovascular, renal and metabolic risk. Limited awareness, resources and

At the heart of home‐based care: multidisciplinary heart failure management in a quaternary centre's community programmes

open access: yesInternal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Heart failure (HF) is a frequent cause of hospital admissions, carrying a high risk of hospital readmission and mortality. Alfred Health General Medicine Hospital in the Home (GM‐HITH) and Hospital Admission Risk Program (HARP) offer multidisciplinary HF care to multimorbid patients in bed‐substitution and non‐admitted community ...

Cardiovascular preventive role of thiazolidinedione in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Among patients with type 2 diabetes undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, thiazolidinedione use was independently associated with a significantly reduced risk of a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, and all‐cause death, notably without an increased risk of admission for heart failure. ABSTRACT Background Thiazolidinediones (TZD) are a
