Simple clinical scores to predict blood pressure and renal function response to renal artery stenting for atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis.
There are no systematic tools to predict blood pressure (BP) or renal function (RF) improvement after stent‑assisted percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS). ⋯ Models of favorable BP and RF response may improve patient selection for ARAS‑PTA. Further insights are expected from prospective validation.

Meta AnalysisAssessment of the risk of incident heart failure in osteoporosis patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis of eligible cohort studies.
A relation between cardiovascular diseases and bone health is increasingly reported. However, the association between osteoporosis and incident heart failure (HF) has not been yet determined. ⋯ Osteoporosis was associated with a modest but significantly increased risk of incident HF. Considering the limited number and quality of available studies, future high‑quality data are required to further demonstrate the association between osteoporosis and incident HF.
