Cardiologist Martha Gulati, from the American Society for Preventive Cardiology, offers insight on the key findings in diabetes and heart disease presented at the 2022 annual meeting of the American College of Cardiology.
First, Dr Gulati shares updates from the SCORED trial, which looked at SGLT2 inhibitors and cardiovascular and renal event reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
Next, she shares insight on CHAP, an important study about chronic hypertension in pregnancy. Researchers found that more aggressive blood pressure control reduced adverse pregnancy outcomes.
She then discusses the SuperWIN trial, which looked at various types of educational interventions regarding heart-healthy diet provided in supermarkets. The goal of this study was to assess adherence to the DASH diet.
Dr Gulati closes her report with the PROMPT-HF trial, which aimed at improving the use of guideline-directed medical therapy in outpatients with heart failure.
