Hyperkalemia is a major barrier to RAASi use in patients with CKD and heart failure—yet these patients are the ones who need RAASi the most. Learn how you can navigate this paradox in clinical practice: ow.ly/XyIf50WLCmQ #MedicalEducation #HeartFailure

RAASi therapy saves lives, but hyperkalemia often forces discontinuation. Could long-term patiromer help preserve RAASi use and improve outcomes? This VA study suggests yes. Dive into the data: ow.ly/Eou850X1LNI #RAASi #CKD #PotassiumBinder

In patients with HFrEF and iron deficiency, oral iron did not improve exercise capacity after 16 weeks. No benefit was seen in peak V̇o2, 6MWD, NT-proBNP, or QoL. Check out the full study: ow.ly/qjqT50X3ZsH #HeartFailure #IronDeficiency #Cardiology

In a recent trial, patients with higher potassium levels were less likely to be uptitrated on ACEi/ARB. However, potassium did not impact outcomes or reduce the benefit of therapy. Check out the full study findings: ow.ly/Z7VE50X9LO2 #HFrEF #Potassium #RAASi

A recent study showed that among patients without kidney disease, the risk of hyperkalemia was similar between ACE-I/ARB and β-blocker users. Elevated risk emerged only when eGFR was less than 60 mL/min/1.73m². Explore the research further: ow.ly/YAoi50Xb2LA #Nephrology

IV iron therapy has shown significant benefit in reducing HF hospitalizations, even in patients without anemia. Despite this, IV iron is still underutilized in HF care. Join Drs. Mentz and Ponikowski as they walk through the data: ow.ly/IRzZ50Xh5yG #HeartFailure

MRAs are recommended for most patients with HFrEF, but in the BIOSTAT-CHF study, only 56% were on one at baseline—and many stopped over time. Explore this real-world gap in heart failure treatment: ow.ly/Z4a750Xh5FA #HeartFailure #Cardiology
