AUTHOR: Jennifer ThomasThe long-standing debate over the benefits of heart rate (HR)-lowering drug treatment, particularly in patients with hypertension, has been addressed in a new large-scale meta-analysis. The findings, published in the European Heart Journal, suggest that the advantages of reducing HR are highly dependent on the patient's underlying clinical condition, with significant…

ESC HF 25 - Findings from Heart2Miss suggest a hub-and-spoke model for early heart failure detection can detect patients with pre-HF and HF who were previously undiagnosed, can reduce tertiary center overload and improve novice performance.Dr Diana Foo (Sarawak General Hospital, Kuching, MY) discusses the findings from the Heart2Miss study, investigating a decentralised, community-based, rapid,…

Natriuretic peptides are key biomarkers used to risk-stratify patients with heart failure (HF), but current guideline thresholds do not typically account for body mass index (BMI).¹ A new pooled analysis suggests that these fixed thresholds may underestimate risk in patients with HF and higher BMI, questioning the one-size-fits-all approach.²This study was a participant-level pooled analysis of…

ESC HF 25 - Secondary analysis of the FINEARTS-HF study shows finerenone treatment favourably influenced the risk of early heart failure readmission.Dr Ankeet Bhatt (Kaiser Permanante San Francisco Medical Center, San Francisco, US) discusses findings from the prespecified secondary analysis of the FINEARTS-HF trial (NCT04435626; Bayer). The placebo-controlled primary analysis investigated the…

The global burden of heart failure (HF) remains a significant challenge for healthcare systems.² While clinical risk factors are well-established, the utility of genetic information in predicting incident HF has been less certain. A recent study investigated the ability of a heart failure polygenic risk score (HF PRS) to predict new-onset HF in individuals across the full spectrum of…
