Finerenone may reduce cardiovascular risk in a wide range of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the United States who have an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; in mL/min/1.72m2) of 25 or higher and/or a urinary albuminuria to creatinine ratio (UACR) of 30 mg/g or greater, according to investigators.

In a recent study published in the European Heart Journal, researchers develop a healthy diet score linked to health outcomes with global applicability using the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study data. Study: Diet, cardiovascular disease, and mortality in 80 countries.

Previous studies have suggested that cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) may predict rapid kidney function decline among persons with diabetes. We analyzed the association between baseline CAN and subsequent glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline among individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) from the Preventing Early Renal Loss in Diabetes (PERL) study (N=469) and with type 2 […]
Patrick T. Ellinor, MD, PhD Credit: Massachusetts General Hospital A “weekend warrior” physical activity pattern, meaning most moderate to vigorous activity was achieved over 1 to 2 days, was associated with a similarly lower risk of cardiovascular outcomes as evenly distributed activity, according to new research.1 The analysis of nearly 90,000 individuals providing a week […]
