Patients taking edoxoban after heart valve surgery had lower risk of stroke, blood clots

November 17, 2024Research Highlights: Edoxaban, a medication taken orally to prevent blood clots from forming, was found to be as effective and safe for stroke and blood clot prevention in patients after heart valve replacement surgery as warfarin, the current standard treatment. Unlike warfarin, edoxaban does not require regular blood tests to monitor clotting activity and does not interact with food or other medications, which simplifies treatment for patients, researchers noted.


Exenatide, a GLP-1 analog, by IV during cardiac surgery did not reduce organ injury or death

November 17, 2024Research Highlights: The GLORIOUS trial found that an intravenous infusion of exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) during heart surgeries involving bypass did not result in significant benefits at preventing death, stroke or organ injury compared to a placebo. Researchers noted, however, additional research is needed to determine if there are any benefits from other GLP-1 medications or from administration of exenatide for a longer period of time or at a larger dose than was tested in this study.

Giving pharmacists feedback improved care for veterans with heart failure

November 16, 2024Research Highlights: In the first large trial of its kind, the anti-clotting medication rivaroxaban did not lower the risk of cognitive decline, stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) in people younger than age 65 who had atrial fibrillation (AFib) but no other stroke risk factors. AFib is the most common type of irregular heart rhythm in the U.


Ablation may be better than medication for those with dangerous heartbeat after heart attack

November 16, 2024Research Highlights: A new, multicenter study demonstrated that ablation treatment may be a better first option than medication for many heart attack survivors who develop abnormal electrical short circuits in their heart, which are episodes of dangerous rapid heart rhythms that can lead to fainting, heart failure or cardiac arrest. Currently, there are two main types of treatments used to prevent rapid heart rhythms: medications, which are usually used first, and if those fail, then a minimally invasive procedure called catheter ablation, in which the abnormal electrical circuits are cauterized.


Systolic BP of less than 120 mm Hg reduced CVD risk in adults with Type 2 diabetes

November 16, 2024Research Highlights: A study of almost 13,000 adults with Type 2 diabetes and high systolic blood pressure assessed if a more intensive treatment approach with a lower blood pressure goal  would decrease the risk of major cardiovascular events, including non-fatal heart attacks, strokes and hospitalized heart failure, or death due to cardiovascular disease. In the Blood Pressure Control Target in Diabetes (BPROAD) Study in China, approximately half of the trial participants received more aggressive treatment to lower their systolic blood pressure to less than 120 mm Hg, and the other half received treatment to lower their systolic blood pressure to less than 140 mm Hg.
