A trial of three non-invasive blood pressure monitors compared with invasive blood pressure assessment in atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm.
To investigate the accuracy of three non-invasive blood pressure (BP) devices in atrial fibrillation (AF) compared with invasive arterial BP. ⋯ The MS is accurate in SR because of direct assessment of Korotkoff sounds. Non-invasive BP assessment in AF is significantly less accurate. These findings have important prognostic and therapeutic implications.

Efficacy and safety of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists with ACEI/ARB treatment for diabetic nephropathy: A meta-analysis.
To explore the efficacy and safety of adding mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) to the treatment in diabetic nephropathy (DN) with ACEI/ARB. ⋯ MRAs can significantly reduce proteinuria and increase blood creatinine in DN patients under blockade of the renin-angiotensin system. The combination treatment of finerenone and ACEI/ARB runs a lower risk of hyperkalaemia than eplerenone or spironolactone.
