3 days ago | thecardiologyadvisor.com | natasha persaud

Finerenone treatment reduces cardiovascular and kidney risks in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes, regardless of their baseline anemia status, a new study finds. In a prespecified post hoc analysis, investigators pooled data from 12,971 patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) from the FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD randomized controlled trials.

Intentional educational curriculum is needed in medical training programs for future health care providers due to the negative impact of deeply rooted implicit weight bias on patient care, according to study findings published in the Journal of Eating Disorders. Worldwide estimates indicate 16% of adults and 20% of adolescents have obesity. However, in the United States, this estimate is as high as 42% of adults with a 50% projection by 2030.

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and established cardiovascular disease (CVD) have a higher rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) and a lower rate of preventive cardiac care than patients with CVD alone, according to study findings published in Thorax. Investigators in Canada conducted a retrospective real-world cohort study to shed light on CVD prevention in people with COPD.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Susvimo® (ranibizumab injection) for the treatment of patients with diabetic retinopathy who have previously responded to at least 2 intravitreal injections of a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor medication. Susvimo is indicated for intravitreal use via the Susvimo ocular implant. The implant is surgically inserted during a one-time outpatient procedure and provides continuous release of ranibizumab, a VEGF inhibitor.
Minimally Invasive Surgery Linked to Lower In-Hospital Mortality in Patients With ICH

1 week ago | thecardiologyadvisor.com | Colby Stong

Minimally invasive surgery is associated with reduced in-hospital mortality after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), researchers reported in Stroke. The retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the American Heart Association Get With The Guidelines (GWTG)-Stroke Registry in the United States between January 2011 and December 2021. All participants were diagnosed with a nontraumatic ICH. The exposure was minimally invasive surgery and the primary outcome was in-hospital mortality.
The Effect of Structural Racism on Urban Hospital Stroke Care Access

Compared with White patients, older Black patients in the United States on Medicare in urban hospitals experience disparities in stroke care access and outcomes, according to study findings published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. Investigators explored the relationship between structural racism (practices, policies, and laws that restrict access to resources and services based on race), urban hospitals, and delivery of stroke care in the US.

Influenza vaccination was found to be protective against influenza-related illness across all age groups and health care settings during the 2023-2024 season, according to study findings published in Clinical Infectious Diseases. Researchers in the United States sourced real-world data from health systems across 8 states to evaluate influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) against influenza-related medical encounters over a single influenza season (October 2023-April 2024).
