Fewer ECG Abnormalities in Early T2D With Combo TherapyIn patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) of less than 10 years' duration who were taking metformin monotherapy, ECG abnormalities — including evidence of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy — were common and associated with cardiovascular risk factors. After adding one of four frequently used glucose-lowering agents to metformin, fewer major ECG changes occurred with liraglutide than with the other treatments.
Surgery Treats Hypertension in Patients With Adrenal TumoursIn patients with unilateral adrenal incidentalomas and mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS), adrenalectomy was well tolerated and enabled a reduction or cessation of hypertensive treatment while maintaining blood pressure within normal ranges.
Acute Myocarditis Riskier Than Unexplained Chest PainDespite being younger and having fewer comorbidities, patients with acute myocarditis (AM) had a significantly higher risk for 30-day and long-term mortality than those with unexplained chest pain.
Sleep Disorders Linked to Aortic StenosisHaving any sleep disorder was independently linked to a higher likelihood for developing aortic stenosis, although dyslipidemia appeared to be an important mediator of the risk.
