After a drought in viable new therapies for more than a decade, two new drugs for use in heart failure patients were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2015. These drugs represent two new classes of agents in the heart failure space: a combined angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) (sacubitril/valsartan; brand name Entresto®, Novartis) and a sinoatrial node… View more

Optimizing Heart Rate and Controlling Symptoms in Atrial Fibrillation
Author(s): Pragnesh Parikh , KL Venkatachalam Added: 3 years ago
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common pathologic clinical arrhythmia lasting more than 30 seconds, and its incidence and prevalence continue to increase. It has been estimated that 5.9 % of patients aged >65 years suffer from AF.1 In the Rotterdam study, 17.8 % of patients over 85 had AF.2 The lifetime risk for developing AF in both men and women above age 40 is one in four.3 This… View more

Cardiovascular disease is a major healthcare problem in the US. The presence of this disease significantly affects the outcome of both cardiac and non-cardiac surgery, and peri-operative cardiac morbidity is one of the leading causes of death following anesthesia and surgery. The considerable incidence of myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, myocardial ischemia, or serious… View more

Promising New Therapies in Heart Failure: Ivabradine and the Neprilysin Inhibitors
Author(s): Michelle Kittleson Added: 3 years ago
Decades ago heart failure (HF) was primarily regarded as a hemodynamic disorder in an attempt to explain patients’ symptoms and disability. This hemodynamic model led to the widespread evaluation of peripheral vasodilators (to increase cardiac output by decreasing systemic vascular resistance against the failing heart). It also led to the development of novel positive inotropic agents (to… View more

Cardiac arrhythmia diagnosis is as old as the Bible and ancient Chinese literature.1 Treatment has progressed from the natural products used by the ancients, to formalized attempts at pharmacological therapy over the last 300 years (with digitalis and cinchona bark being the lead compounds), to the modern use of devices and ablation. However, with the exception of electronic pacing for… View more
