The latest salvo in the hyponatremia wars takes off where Seethapathy left us (NEJM Evidence | NephJC). Last week, Juan Carlos Ayus published his latest study (JAMA Internal Medicine) on hyponatremia, a meta analysis of patient outcomes in the management of hyponatremia

Will #finerenone become MRA of choice in #CHF for GDMT? Often these pts w soft BPs and unable to use #spironolactone in addition to ARNI. Also compelling if diabetic & proteinuric as well! Can titrate up to 40mg. #medsky #nephsky #AHA24

Final thoughts:
⭐ Finerenone In DKD = ⬇️CV /Kidney outcomes

⭐ Finerenone in HFpEF =⬇️ CV death +HF events

⭐ Small % patients on background #flozin /GLP-1

⏰It’s Time to do some trials with combination therapy #flozin + finerenone ! #CONFIRMATIONHF #CONFIDENCE

So exciting! #SUMMIT trial, the first #HFpEF trial of incretin therapy with HF clinical outcomes as prespecified primary outcome. And #tirzepatide reduced CV death or worsening HF by significant 38%! Improvement in KCCQ quality of life by 7 pts, wt loss 12%, hsCRP reduction by 35%! #AHA24 #CardioSky
