Sacubitril/valsartan reduces all-cause hospitalizations in HF

17 Jun 2025

In patients with chronic heart failure (HF) with below-normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), treatment with sacubitril/valsartan significantly reduces the risk of all-cause hospitalization vs renin-angiotensin system inhibitor (RASi), a post hoc pooled analysis of two pivotal trials has shown.

Protecting the vulnerable: The role of oral antivirals in COVID-19 management

12 Jun 2025

At the Asia Vaccines and Antivirals Summit (AVAS) 2025 held in Bangkok, Thailand, two expert-led sessions provided valuable perspectives on the expanding role of oral antivirals in COVID-19 management. Dr Daniel Griffin, an infectious disease specialist and Clinical Instructor of Medicine at Columbia University, New York, US, focused on protecting high-risk populations through the timely use of antiviral therapy. Complementing this, Professor Ching-Tai Huang of Chang Gung University and Memorial Hospital in Taiwan offered practical guidance on clinical management strategies, including patient risk stratification and therapeutic selection.
