🗞️ Researchers at @MFTnhs have contributed to a new major study assessing the benefits of taking high doses of potassium supplements after heart bypass surgery.
💬 Dr Niall Campbell discussed the impact of this research for patients and the NHS.

In this double-blind RCT of adults with heart failure and a defibrillator, the SGLT2i ertugliflozin led to an ~80% relative risk reduction of VTach/VFib. 💊👩🔬 Full article by @MartinBene1994 et al.: eviden.cc/476qaIL

Legitimately practice changing: the #TIGHTK multicenter open label RCT found that in post-op cardiac surgery patients, repleting potassium to 3.6 mEq/L was non-inferior 4.5 mEq/L but saved substantial RN ⏱️ time & 💰 money ($111 per pt).

Relaxed potassium supplementation (threshold 3.6 mEq/L) post-CABG surgery is noninferior to tight control (4.5 mEq/L) in preventing atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery, potentially reducing costs & patient risks. ja.ma/4dKNga6

1/ BREAKING: The Tight K trial- potassium and AF prophylaxis after CABG.
MAIN FINDINGS - supplementation of potassium when [K+] fell below 3.6mEq/L was non-inferior to current widespread practice of supplementing potassium to maintain a [K+] of 4.5mEq/L. #ESCCongress #TIGHTK

We are looking forward to presenting the results of Tight K tomorrow at #ESCCongress, Hot Line 4 at 1659. #TIGHTK @escardio

Late breaking at #ESCCongress: In patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and obesity, semaglutide (2.4 mg) led to greater reductions in symptoms and physical limitations and greater improvements in exercise function than placebo. Full STEP-HFpEF trial:
