Abstract
Purpose of review: Hypertension and chronic kidney diseases (CKDs) are known risk factors for the development or worsening of heart failure. In last years, several new therapeutic approaches for the management of people with diabetic and nondiabetic CKD and hypertension have been investigated. In this brief review, the most recent findings regarding the ability of SGLT-2 inhibitors and nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (nsMRA) and GLP-1 receptor agonists to prevent heart failure in patients with hypertension and CKD will be discussed.
Recent findings: In the last 3 years, several large clinical trials involving very large numbers of CKD patients have been published showing that these new therapeutic approaches significantly reduce the risk of heart failure events and hospitalizations in patients with diabetic and nondiabetic nephropathies and hypertension as well as in patients with heart failure without nephropathy. Moreover, these drugs retard the progression of CKD towards end-stage kidney disease.
Summary: These observations already have a major impact on the management of people with hypertension and CKD. SGLT-2 inhibitors are now recommended as first-line therapy in people with diabetes, CKD and heart failure. The use of nsMRA is increasing and could replace spironolactone over time in heart failure as well as in early CKD stages.
