#IDMastodon #CardioToote #Cardiology While myocardial impairment is a predictor of poor prognosis in antineutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV), little is known about valvular involvement.

#Cardiology #CardioToote r Steroidal MRAs reduced #heartfailure & mortality across a wide range of eGFR. However, declining benefit and worsening safety may limit their use in patients with lower eGFR, particularly those with levels ≤30 mL/min/1.73 m2. https://www.jacc.org/doi/full/10.1016/j.jchf.2022.06.010
