Case-Based Management of Hyperkalemia to Optimize RAASi Therapy in Patients with CKD

Host: Mikhail Kosiborod, MD
Guest: Biff F. Palmer, MD

Delve into refining the management of hyperkalemia in CKD patients and their associated comorbidities, striking a delicate balance that preserves guideline-recommended RAASi therapy. Join Dr. Biff Palmer and Dr. Mikhail Kosiborod as they guide the exploration of novel potassium binders for optimal hyperkalemia management, all while upholding the integrity of established treatment guidelines.

Even with guideline-directed medical therapy, or GDMT, many patients with heart failure are limited in their daily activities, due to increasing symptoms and reduced functionality. However, new data from BeAT-HF, a clinical trial that examines the long-term effects of baroreflex activation therapy, or BAT, shows that BAT may provide patients with sustained and durable benefits in exercise capacity, functional status, and quality of life.

Despite many available drug therapies, patients with hypertension continue to experience elevated blood pressures, putting them at risk for cardiovascular-related morbidities and mortality. However, renal denervation, a minimally invasive procedure, has been shown to result in sustained and durable reductions in blood pressure. Find out what this approach could mean for your patients.

Once considered rare and untreatable, amyloid transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) has increased in incidence over the last decade and is now a treatable condition. This is partly due to our better understanding of the biology of the disease and recognition of its comorbid or co-occurring conditions in both cardiac and noncardiac patients with cardiac amyloidosis. In an open discussion, chairperson Martha Grogan, MD, and faculty members Marianna Fontana, MD, and Nitasha Sarswat, MD, provide an updated review of the disease state that includes a better understanding of the mechanism of the disease, discuss the pathogenic and protective genetic variants, and examine evidence from clinical trials that are impacting the evolving landscape.

Hyperkalemia is a limiting factor when treating patients with heart failure and CKD on RAASi therapy. It’s especially challenging when these patients are on chronic hemodialysis. Join Drs. George Bakris, David Bushinsky, and Lars Lund as they identify the barriers of optimal treatment in patients on hemodialysis and discuss the real-world evidence using potassium-lowering agents in challenging patient group.

Optimal treatment with guideline-directed therapies, including RAS inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitors, and nonsteroidal MRAs, is paramount in preventing progressive renal dysfunction and cardiorenal events in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes. As the patient becomes more complex, a multidisciplinary approach is often necessary to improve their outcomes. Listen in as our panel of experts offers strategies to improve collaboration and patient care.
