Whether routine use of spironolactone is beneficial after myocardial infarction is uncertain. Recent attempts to improve outcomes with intensified renin–angiotensin–aldosterone inhibition have not shown improvements in outcomes.7,8 A trial of routine aldosterone

What Was Studied?The EMPA-KIDNEY trial followed 6,609 CKD patients at risk of disease progression. Participants were randomly assigned to receive empagliflozin (10 mg daily) or a placebo for a median of 2 years. After this ‘active’ phase, 4,891 patients entered a 2-year post-trial observational period where neither group received the trial drug, but doctors could prescribe open-label SGLT2 inhibitors. The goal? To see if empagliflozin’s benefits persisted after stopping treatment.Key

Is accelerated surgery for hip fracture better for high-risk patients? A recent substudy of the HIP ATTACK trial has shed new light on this topic. The original trial, published in 2020, compared accelerated surgery (within 6 hours) to standard-timing surgery (within 24 hours) for hip fracture patients. While the initial results showed only marginal benefits, this new analysis focuses on a specific group: patients with elevated cardiac troponin levels at hospital arrival--- THE SICK
