Renin inhibitors in diabetes and hypertension: an update
The coexistence of hypertension and diabetes increases the incidence of cardiovascular events and long-term morbidity and mortality. Blood pressure should be controlled with the most appropriate drugs as well as tight blood glucose control in patients with diabetes and hypertension. RAAS (Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System) blockers have an important role in the treatment of these patients, i...
متن کاملDiabetes, aliskiren, and heart failure: let's bring ASTRONAUT down to earth.
ASTRONAUT (Aliskiren Trial on Acute Heart Failure Outcomes) failed to show that aliskiren was superior to placebo in reducing cardiovascular events when prescribed to patients with a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction who had recently recovered from worsening heart failure requiring hospital admission. Clinicians are tempted to look at outcome in patient subgroups because they are requi...
متن کاملAliskiren Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Using Cardio-Renal Endpoints (ALTITUDE): rationale and study design.
BACKGROUND Patients with type 2 diabetes are at increased risk of macro- and microvascular disease, and the presence of albuminuria and/or reduced kidney function further enhances macrovascular risk. Angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors reduce both macro- and microvascular events, yet the residual renal and cardiovascular risk still remains high. Aliskiren a novel oral direct renin inhibito...
متن کاملThe Aliskiren Trial to Minimize OutcomeS in Patients with HEart failure trial (ATMOSPHERE): revised statistical analysis plan and baseline characteristics.
AIMS AND METHODS To: (i) describe the baseline characteristics of patients in ATMOSPHERE and the changes in the planned analysis of ATMOSPHERE resulting from the mandated discontinuation of study treatment in patients with diabetes; (ii) compare the baseline characteristics of patients in ATMOSPHERE with those in the Prospective comparison of Angiotensin Receptor neprilysin inhibitors with Angi...
متن کاملSeasonal cycle of COO, COO, and COO in the middle atmosphere: Implications for mesospheric dynamics and biogeochemical sources and sinks of CO2
[1] The isotopic anomaly of oxygen in atmospheric CO2 is caused by exchange reactions with isotopically anomalous O(D) in the middle atmosphere. In the stratosphere, the major source of O(D) is O3 photolysis; O3 is known to possess mass-independent isotopic composition, with dO3 dO3 100% relative to atmospheric O2. Higher in the mesosphere, Lyman a-driven photodissociation of O2 provides a more...
