REN and heart failure: This observational cohort study compared the likelihood of maintained (stabilized/up-titrated) renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibitor (RAASi) therapy at 6 months following hyperkalaemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and/or heart failure (HF) from the USA, Japan and Spain who received sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) for at least 120 days, relative to those with no prescription for a potassium (K+) binder.
