Single-Dose Zilebesiran Cuts BP Out to 6 Months: KARDIA-2
Quick Glance: Zilebesiran: Long-Term Blood Pressure Reduction in KARDIA-2
  • Administering a single subcutaneous dose of the RNA interference agent zilebesiran resulted in significant decreases in systolic blood pressure compared to placebo at 3 months when incorporated into a standard antihypertensive therapy in the KARDIA-2 study.

  • These effects persisted for up to 6 months in the majority of patients, despite the addition of supplementary antihypertensive treatment.

  • Regarding side effects, treatment with zilebesiran was linked to higher rates of mild hyperkalemia, hypotension, and a decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate, with most cases being non-severe, temporary, and resolving without intervention.

  • The detailed outcomes of the KARDIA-2 study were unveiled by Akshay Desai, MD, a cardiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, during the recent American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Session held in Atlanta, Georgia.

Quick Glance: Prostate Cancer: A Growing Threat That Can Be Pushed Back, Defeated
  • Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide and poses an increasing threat, especially in Uganda where cases are on the rise.

  • Risk factors such as family history and lifestyle choices impact the development of prostate cancer, which escalates with age.

  • Symptoms of prostate cancer necessitate regular medical check-ups to enable early diagnosis and treatment.

  • The limited resources of the Uganda Cancer Institute hinder the comprehensive care of prostate cancer patients, prompting a shift in priorities and the development of a more accessible diagnostic and management approach.
