BACKGROUND: Limited evidence exists on the prognostic role of continuing medical therapy in patients with heart failure (HF) ...

Patients who have been treated for heart failure and experience an improvement in their pump function are still at higher ...

Most important among these are selectivity for the angiotensin type 1 receptor and a lack of agonist activity at this receptor site. All the agents are orally administered; bioavailability is ...

FILSPARI REMS: Due to the risk of hepatotoxicity and embryo-fetal toxicity, FILSPARI is available only through a restricted program called the FILSPARI REMS. Prescribers, patients, and pharmacies must ...

A systematic review and meta-analysis identified factors contributing to post-kidney transplant anemia and the effect of erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESAs).

No cases of potassium levels exceeding 6.0 mmol/L were observed.

SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, infects cells by binding its spike protein to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 ...

Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are a class of oral medications that act primarily through blockade of the angiotensin receptor. The effects of angiotensin include vasoconstriction and ...

1), although many of the leading compounds are available as generics. In terms of branded sales, the angiotensin II receptor blocker class dominates with five of the top ten antihypertensives ...

The virus can bind to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor—the same receptor used by SARS-CoV-2 to infect human cells.
