Several urinary peptides show a significant association with hypertension, with apparent “differential regulation of collagen-derived peptides,” a recent study has shown. In addition, peptides associated with vascular calcification and sodium regulation are also involved.

Combination therapy with sodium-glucose transporter inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide receptor agonists (GLP1ra) prevents heart failure and improves long-term survival in a real-world population as compared with SGLT2i or GLP1ra monotherapy, according to a study.

A significantly higher 1-year mortality is seen following procedural myocardial infarction (pMI) and spontaneous MI (spMI) with troponin peak >35x the upper reference level (URL), reports a study. On the other hand, only spMI demonstrates a significant influence on mortality for troponin levels ≤35x.

Among Asian patients with heart failure (HF), those experiencing HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) constitute a substantial burden, according to a Singapore study.
