Single-pill low-dose combination (LDC) therapy is an emerging strategy for improving blood pressure (BP) control in patients with hypertension.¹ Two new phase III trials, HM-APOLLO-301 and HM-APOLLO-302, have evaluated the efficacy and safety of an ultra-low-dose triple combination pill compared with standard-dose monotherapy as an initial treatment for mild-to-moderate hypertension… View more

An exploratory analysis of the EARLY TAVR trial has found that the benefits of early transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) are consistent, regardless of baseline left ventricular (LV) health.¹ This suggests that waiting for LV deterioration may not be the optimal strategy for timing intervention.MethodologyThis analysis used data from the EARLY… View more
