Tissue Sodium Storage in Patients With Heart Failure: A New Therapeutic Target?

Sandrine Lemoine et al.

Summary: The study showed that patients with HF have significantly high levels of skin sodium storage, comparable to end-stage kidney disease patients requiring hemodialysis. This suggests that Na-23-magnetic resonance imaging may be useful in precision medicine for managing HF patients.

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor therapy: mechanisms of action in heart failure

Shruti S. Joshi et al.

Summary: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at higher risk for heart failure, but SGLT2 inhibitor therapies show promise in improving blood glucose control and reducing cardiovascular events. However, the mechanisms underlying these benefits are not fully understood, with recent proposals pointing to improvements in cardiomyocyte calcium handling and reduction in epicardial fat as potential explanations.
