#22: Heart failure & rapid uptitration of neurohormonal blockade, home treatment for acute pulmonary embolism, cardiovascular outcomes after bariatric surgery for weight loss

Welcome to the latest episode of Medmastery's Cardiology Digest, where In less than 15 minutes we'll get you up to date on breakthrough studies and advancements in cardiology that can impact your clinical practice!

STUDY #1: Brace yourself for insights into a study that evaluated rapid uptitration of evidence-based therapies for heart failure. Join us as we dissect the feasibility, resource demands, and patient implications?

Biegus, J, Mebazaa, A, Davison, B, et al. 2024. Effects of rapid uptitration of neurohormonal blockade on effective, sustainable decongestion and outcomes in STRONG-HF. J Am Coll Cardiol. 4: 323–336. (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jacc.2024.04.055)

STUDY #2: Next, we examine a recent paper that challenges hospital-centric treatment paradigms for acute pulmonary embolism. Discover how some low-risk patients could benefit from home treatment, and what conditions are essential to ensure their safety and effective care.

Luijten, D, Douillet, D, Luijken, K, et al. 2024. Safety of treating acute pulmonary embolism at home: An individual patient data meta-analysis. Eur Heart J. 32: 2933–2950. (https://doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/ehae378)

STUDY #3: Finally, we dive into a large cohort study looking at bariatric surgery in obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea, and see whether losing weight actually had a significant impact on cardiovascular outcomes.

Aminian, A, Wang, L, Al Jabri, A, et al. 2024. Adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and obesity: Metabolic surgery vs usual care. J Am Coll Cardiol. Published online. (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jacc.2024.06.008)
