Alani Nu is experiencing “scary-level growth,” but that shouldn't be concerning…as Celsius Holdings leadership doesn't get spooked easily! Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ: CELH) had quarterly revenue of $739.3 million, which was up 84% YoY. Excluding the Alani Nu acquisition-related financial impact, CELSIUS brand revenue grew 9% YoY. And if you were wondering about Alani Nu, it's second quarter revenue was $301.5 million…which equates to around 106% YoY growth! According to Circana last 13-week retail sales data, CELSIUS increased by 3% YoY...remaining the third-largest energy drink brand in the category with a dollar share of 11%. Alani Nu increased retail sales 129% YoY and is now the dominant fourth player in the U.S. energy drinks market with dollar share of 6.3%. If we look at Celsius Holdings combined brand portfolio, it reached 17.3% of dollar share for the last 13-week period ending June 29, 2025...ranking it third and trailing only Red Bull and the combined Monster Beverage portfolio. Additionally, if you were to consider the last 52-week period ending July 20, 2025…Celsius Holdings retail sales were over $4 billion, surpassing the combined sales of the next eight energy drink brands. Celsius Holdings has experienced massive growth in convenience stores, foodservice (e.g. fast food restaurants), mass retailers like Walmart, the club channel in retailers like Costco, and the Amazon marketplace. And international expansion presents significant opportunity for incremental growth over the next three to five years. With the Celsius brand basically at full distribution now…growth will be unlocked through a strategic growth framework that John Fieldly recently branded as “more people,” “more places,” and “more often.” And while Alani Nu will obviously be integrated into many aspects of that strategic growth framework...it will currently be done outside of the PepsiCo distribution network. If you remember (in my initial content) after the M&A deal was officially announced, I made the strategic recommendation regarding Alani Nu independent DSD distribution network continuity…as I believed it provided Celsius Holdings the best near-term strategic plan to (1) minimize platform “key customer risk,” (2) strengthen focus on other business integration elements, but (3) lower near-term cannibalization risk significantly. But beyond the distribution strategy difference, Alani Nu is also “leaps and bounds” ahead of the CELSIUS brand in leveraging LTO product innovation. Alani Nu showed extraordinary strength, led by Sherbet Swirl and Cotton Candy. But believe it or not…expectations are even higher heading into the next quarterly reporting period, as Alani Nu customers are going wild across social media about the fan favorite Witch's Brew flavor recently returning to stores (along with a funky new LTO flavor Pumpkin Cream). But or the Celsius Holdings portfolio to meaningfully expand its household penetration beyond the current 43%, it must stay culturally relevant with the next generation of modern energy drinkers by continuing to invest in brand awareness activities that focus on driving trial and loyalty.

In this episode, I go on a bit of a rant—and for good reason.When people in positions of power make sweeping decisions without input from the people most affected, the results are often not just ineffective… they're harmful.I share a recent example from my own therapy practice, where state-level Medicaid changes made by HCPF (Colorado's Department of Health Care Policy & Financing) have had huge ripple effects—harming my team's ability to provide care and hurting the very clients those changes were supposed to help.And unfortunately, this isn't a one-off issue. It's a pattern we see all the time in the family court system.Survivors of domestic violence are rarely invited to the table when reforms are discussed or policies are implemented. Professionals make assumptions, apply blanket solutions, and often ignore the lived experiences of the people navigating these systems every single day.In this episode, I explore:Why top-down decisions without feedback loops cause damageHow survivors are continuously silenced and sidelined in court processesThe emotional toll of fighting systems that claim to help—but don't listenWhy true change must include the voices of those impactedWhether you've felt powerless in court, frustrated by the mental health system, or just plain angry at the disconnect between what's needed and what's delivered—this one's for you.Tune in and share your own story.

Kia ora,Welcome to Thursday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news in search of short-term riches, the Cook Islands is establishing itself as a haven base for deep sea mining, it be used by both great powers.But first, American mortgage applications rose last week with a modest +3.1% gain from the prior week attributed to a small fall in benchmark mortgage interest rates. It was the stronger +5% refinance activity that drove the modest gain rather than new home purchases.Those benchmark rates may keep falling. There was slightly softer demand for the latest overnight US Treasury 10yr Note auction, but the resulting median yield came in at 4.20%, down from 4.31% at the prior equivalent event a month ago. However the yield is up on more recent levels.Separately, the NY Fed monitoring of global supply chain pressure eased again in July.In Canada, they are seeing residential real estate markets operating like we see here. For example Toronto sales transactions are rising (+13% in July from a year ago), but prices falling (-5.4% on the same basis).The Reserve Bank of India kept its key policy rate at 5.50% during its August meeting, now holding a neutral stance, following a larger-than-expected -50 bps decrease in June. There were no surprises here and the rate remains at its lowest level since August 2022. Easing inflation and the recent US tariff challenges were key considerations.Meanwhile, the US has doubled its tariffs on India to 50% as 'punishment' for buying Russian oil. Interestingly it has boosted Modi's standing at home in India and brought bi-partisan support for him in resisting the US.In China, they have brought in a ¥3,600 yuan (NZ$845) per year child care subsidy for under threes, designed to boost household consumption and ease pressure on family budgets. Encouraging childbirth is probably the core motivation for this subsidy. It is just another is a broadening range of consumer subsidies China is rolling out to support its economy and build domestic demand.EU retail sales volumes impressed in an overnight data release for June. They were up +3.1% on a volume basis, the best increase since September 2024. German gains were particularly strong, up +4.8% on the same volume basis.But new German factory orders again disappointed in June, down -1.0% in volume terms. Although this was twisted by some lumpy 'large' orders. Excluding those, the change is a gain of +0.5% in volume terms. (Large-scale items include aircraft, ships, trains, military vehicles).Australia said living costs rose for all type of households in June. Over the past year, all LCIs rose between +1.7% and +3.1%, slowing from annual rises of between +2.4% and +3.5% to the March 2025 quarter. In the South Pacific, the Cook Islands is becoming a renegade state. Its deal with China allows the Chinese to use it as a base for deep sea mining. Now the US is keen to use it in the same way. These great powers see “one of the most promising regions for deep-sea mineral deposits.” These nations are keen to plunder as far away from themselves as possible.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.22%, up +2 bps from yesterday. The price of gold will start today at US$3,374/oz, down -US$5 from yesterday.American oil prices have slipped back again, down another -50 USc to just under US$65/bbl with the international Brent price holding at just over US$67.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is at 59.4 USc and up +40 bps from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 91.3 AUc. Against the euro we are also unchanged at 51 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 67.1, up +20 bps.The bitcoin price started today at US$115,465 and up +1.6% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low at just under +/-0.9%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Racist Suspect Brent Arnold live from Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin. Gus T. is still recuperating from spending more than a month in Milwaukee to cover the Sade C. Robinson murder trial as well as the history of Racism in Milwaukee County. While Gus was in “Cream City,” he spent time in and researching The Village of Whitefish Bay. This Racially Restricted Region to the northeast of Milwaukee proper has willfully banned black people from the area for about a century. Gus stacked up about a dozen maps showing Racist covenants in Milwaukee County. Dozens of Whitefish Bayers spent exorbitant amounts of money to ensure that no black person (except a servant) ever lived in Whitefish. Mr. Arnold is a White homeowner whose property has some of this Racist Language restricting ownership to those classified as White. We'll ask Mr. Arnold about his history and knowledge of Wisconsin's many Racially Restricted Regions and if his many White neighbors seem “often genuinely and sincerely pained about Racism against black people." #RaciallyRestrictedRegions INVEST in The C.O.W.S. - https://cash.app/$TheCOWS #TheCOWS16Years CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

This week on Revenue Rehab, Brandi Starr is joined by Maxwell Ivey, internationally known as the Blind Blogger and an expert in accessibility education, who believes “Accessibility isn't charity—it's untapped market access,” and he's ready to prove it. In this episode, Maxwell dismantles the common industry belief that accessibility is a mere “nice-to-have,” arguing that overlooking people with disabilities is a costly, strategic mistake that hands revenue directly to competitors. Drawing on data, buyer journey insights, and firsthand stories, he exposes how accessible marketing drives greater loyalty, expands market reach, and can directly boost revenue for B2B leaders. Will Maxwell's bold challenge reshape your approach to inclusion—or do you still think accessibility is optional? Join the debate!  Episode Type Problem Solving: Industry analysts, consultants, and founders take a bold stance on critical revenue challenges, offering insights you won't hear anywhere else. These episodes explore common industry challenges and potential solutions through expert insights and varied perspectives.  Bullet Points of Key Topics + Chapter Markers:  Topic #1: “Inclusivity” Is Just Empty Jargon [02:45]  Maxwell Ivey boldly claims that the word “inclusive” is an overused, misleading buzzword that allows companies to feel good without doing the work of true accessibility. He states, “It allows a lot of people to feel like they are doing the right thing…without actually taking action,” directly challenging revenue leaders to move beyond declarations and toward measurable accessibility changes. Brandi Starr agrees that the term is often empty, setting the stage for a debate on what genuine inclusivity should look like in B2B marketing and customer experience.  Topic #2: Accessibility Isn't Charity, It's a Market Advantage [04:29]  Ivey confronts the myth that accessibility is just altruism or only benefits a niche group, arguing, “Accessibility isn't charity, it's market access.” He emphasizes the significant, loyal purchasing power of people with disabilities—estimated at $3.5-4 trillion annually—and reveals that inaccessible marketing directly costs businesses revenue, saying, “you are walking away from revenue and your competitors are happy to pick it up.” This challenges conventional thinking by reframing accessibility as a core business growth lever, not a compliance box to check.  Topic #3: Accessibility Enhancements Benefit All Buyers [06:09]  Ivey dismantles the belief that accessibility improvements are only for the disabled, stressing that accessible design actually improves user experience for everyone—including those browsing in poor lighting, on mobile devices, or with age-related challenges. Concrete tactics like simplifying website navigation, keyboard-first design, and minimizing distractions are highlighted as universally beneficial. He argues, “A lot of things that you will do to improve accessibility will improve the user experience of all your other customers who don't have a disability,” pushing revenue leaders to rethink accessibility as a competitive differentiator rather than a narrow accommodation.  The Wrong Approach vs. Smarter Alternative  The Wrong Approach: “I think I'd like to get rid of the word inclusive because it's such a vague word, it doesn't really get to the heart of the matter. It allows a lot of people to feel like they are doing the right thing for their business or for people with disabilities without actually taking action, without really empathizing with the needs of this huge market of highly loyal consumers. And it allows them just to avoid the hard conversations, to avoid the time and effort. Although it isn't really a lot of time and effort in most people's cases. But by saying that they're inclusive, it allows them to feel good about themselves, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they've done the work.” – Maxwell Ivey  Why It Fails: Using “inclusive” as a buzzword lets companies check a box without making real changes. This superficial approach fails to address the specific needs of people with disabilities, meaning businesses miss out on both a substantial market opportunity and true accessibility. Ultimately, it leads to lost revenue and leaves the door open for competitors who genuinely address accessibility.  The Smarter Alternative: Companies should move beyond vague commitments and take concrete, tactical actions to improve accessibility. Maxwell recommends focusing on simplifying user journeys, prioritizing keyboard navigation, and designing with a minimalist, distraction-free mindset. These measures not only support people with disabilities but also improve usability and satisfaction for all customers, driving better business outcomes.  The Most Damaging Myth  The Myth: “I don't have customers who with disabilities or if I have them, they do not have the funds to buy from me. And the other is that when I create for accessibility, I am only creating for people with disabilities.” – Maxwell Ivey  Why It's Wrong: These beliefs are harmful because they severely underestimate both the size and purchasing power of the disability community. As Maxwell points out, designing for accessibility benefits everyone—not just people with disabilities—by improving the user experience for all. Additionally, the market of people with disabilities is large, loyal, and influential; dismissing their needs means leaving significant revenue and word-of-mouth opportunity on the table.  What Companies Should Do Instead: Recognize accessibility as market access, not charity or a compliance checkbox. Design campaigns, content, and customer experiences for everyone, understanding that accessibility improvements often enhance usability and satisfaction for all users—leading to broader engagement, higher revenues, and stronger brand loyalty.    Buzzword Banishment  Maxwell's buzzword to banish is "inclusive." He dislikes this term because it is vague and allows companies to feel self-satisfied without taking meaningful action to address the needs of people with disabilities. Maxwell argues that saying you're "inclusive" often substitutes for real empathy or necessary changes, enabling businesses to avoid hard conversations and practical improvements, rather than genuinely supporting a large and loyal market segment.  Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxwellivey  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/maxwellivey  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/maxwellivey  Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-accessibility-advantage/id1740242884  Website: https://www.theaccessibilityadvantage.com  Subscribe, listen, and rate/review Revenue Rehab Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts , Amazon Music, or iHeart Radio and find more episodes on our website RevenueRehab.live.

May retail sales look stronger than headlines show After seeing headlines from several media outlets, I was worried May retail sales were slowing to a problem point, but I would say they actually looked quite strong. Compared to April, sales did fall 0.9%, which was larger than expectations for a 0.6% decline. It's important to point out though that consumer rushed to auto dealers in April to try and beat the tariffs. This led to a 3.5% decline in motor vehicle & part dealers when comparing sales in the month of May to April. Gas stations have also seen declining sales largely due to lower gas prices and actually fell 2% when compared to the previous month. Excluding these two categories, sales would have fallen just 0.1% when compared to April. While the month over month numbers point to a slowing consumer, when we look at the annual comparisons the numbers are impressive. Headline retail sales climbed 3.3% compared to last May, but if we exclude motor vehicle & parts dealers & gas stations, sales climbed 4.6%. It was largely impacted by the 6.9% annual decline at gas stations. Areas of strength in the report included nonstore retailers, which were up 8.3%, food services & drinking places, which were up 5.3%, and furniture and home furnishing stores, which were up 8.8%. Overall, I'd say this report still shows a healthy consumer. I am still looking for the consumer to slow, but I believe people still have the ability and desire to spend in this economy, which should allow for continued growth, albeit at a slower rate.   Why are big retailers looking at issuing stable coins of their own? Stable coins seem to be the new buzzword for 2025. It seems at least once a week when I pick up the Wall Street Journal, I see something about stable coins. I recently read that Walmart and Amazon may be looking into using stable coins to get away from using traditional payment systems, which is costing billions of dollars in fees each year. This includes interchange fees that occur when customers make purchases using their credit cards. If you're not sure what a stable coin is, briefly, it is a coin that is supposed to be backed by a one-to-one exchange ratio with dollars or other government currencies. In other words, reserves of cash and dollars would have to equal the value of the stable coins that were in the market. Who would be hurt most by this? Visa and MasterCard, who collect billions of dollars in fees from the merchants, would likely be most at risk. I believe if the stable coins were to become a reliable source of transactions, you will see huge declines in the stock prices of Visa and MasterCard. Merchants have tried in the past to somehow get around the card-based systems from Visa and MasterCard, but each time they have failed. I personally still don't have a clear comfortable feeling or understanding of stable coins, which is true of many regulators and others as well, but it does appear new technology is coming and if Visa and MasterCard are replaced, I wonder who will get the benefit of those billions of dollars in transaction fees? Will it be the retailer or the consumers? ChatGPT and Perplexity are hurting the Internet You may not think about it, but Alphabet's Google search engine is seeing huge declines. This is not just hurting Google, but it also hurts many companies who get their business from people searching on Google. This could have a major impact on companies like TripAdvisor as it gets 58% of its global visits from search. If people get the answer, they need right away from ChatGPT, there's no need to continue searching and you'll not see any other ads directing you to other sites that may want to do business with you. Many companies from Netflix to US travel and tourism companies are seeing declines in traffic to their websites by 10 to 20% from one year ago. For example, search referrals to top U.S. travel and tourism were down 20% year over year last month and news and media sites saw a decline of 17%. ChatGPT had 500 million weekly active users in March and that was up almost 70% from the 300 million they saw in December. The reason this is hurting Internet search is since you get your answer from one platform, you close the book and move on. You don't need to do any more searches on other sites. Google‘s lawsuit for being a monopoly with the federal government will still not disappear even though things have changed as they are being penalized for what they have done in the past. I have noticed when I'm using Google now the AI search function now pops up. The big question is will this help Google retain their search business? This is extremely important considering more than half of Alphabet's business still comes from Google search ads. For investors, you may want to be aware of how much business the company you're investing in gets from search off the Internet because there could be a decline in the business if it is a large amount. One company that could benefit from the decline in search is Meta. This would come from the Facebook and Instagram platforms because that's still a way for businesses to be online and in front of potential new customers and clients. There's still some concern on copyright infringement from many companies and this could be something that really hurts the advancement of AI. Are you finding yourself using AI more and doing less Google searches?   Financial Planning: The “Widow's Penalty” When a spouse passes away in retirement, the surviving spouse typically transitions from filing taxes jointly to filing as a single taxpayer in the following year, a shift that often triggers what's known as the “widow's penalty.” This penalty arises because single filers face higher tax rates at lower income thresholds and receive a smaller standard deduction, which can significantly increase their tax liability even if their income stays the same. To make matters worse, household income often drops after a spouse's death.  For example, if both spouses are collecting Social Security, only the higher of the two benefits continues. This combination—less income and higher tax rates—can lead to a surprising and painful spike in effective tax burden and reduction in cashflow. To mitigate this risk, couples can take proactive steps such as performing Roth IRA conversions while both spouses are alive to lower future taxable income, carefully coordinating Social Security claiming strategies to maximize long-term benefits, and planning pre and post death retirement withdrawals to keep cashflow consistent. Thoughtful retirement planning can help soften the financial blow and preserve more wealth for the surviving spouse.   Companies Discussed: Adobe Inc.

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Dave Sandstrom Kendall Bauer (with Max Hoelzl and Joel Dresang engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (May 12-16, 2025) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday No major announcements Tuesday Broad inflation slowed in April to its lowest point in more than four years. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that its Consumer Price Index rose 2.3% from April 2024, still outpacing the Fed's 2% target but down from a four-decade high of 9.1% in mid-2022. Shelter costs c0ntributed more than half of the month's increase while grocery prices fell the most since mid-2020. Egg prices dropped nearly 13% from March but were 49% more expensive than they were in April 2024. The 2.3% year-to-year inflation rate was the lowest since February 2021. Excluding volatile costs for food and energy, the core CPI rose 2.8% from the same time last year, the same pace as in March. Wednesday No major announcements Thursday Inflation on the wholesale level registered a 2.4% annual increase in April, slowing for the third month in a row. The Producer Price Index was down 0.5% from March, the first decline in 16 months and the most since April 2020. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the index shrank mostly because of lower prices for services, led by margins for machinery and vehicle wholesaling. The core rate of wholesale inflation, stripping out volatile prices for food, energy and trade services, sank 0.1% for the month and was up 2.9% from April 2024. Retail sales slowed in April, though consumers kept spending, according to a report by the Commerce Department. Advanced sales by retailers and food services rose 0.1% from March. Among 13 major categories, five increased sales from the month before, including bars and restaurants. Sales at supermarkets and liquor stores were unchanged. Car dealers and gas stations were among the outlets where sales declined. Adjusted for inflation, retail sales fell 0.2% in April. Economists follow store signs as an indication of consumer spending, which drives two-thirds of the U.S. economy. The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims rose for the third week in a row, rising to its highest level since October. The measure of employer willingness to let workers go was 36% below the 58-year average, suggesting a continued tight labor market. According to Labor Department data, total jobless claims fell 3% from the week before to just under 1.9 million applications, which was nearly 6% higher than the year before, The Federal Reserve said its industrial production index was unchanged in April, though 1.5% above where it stood the year before. Lower output from manufacturing and mining was offset by increased production by utilities following an unseasonably warm March. Factories produced 0.4% less than March and were up 1.2% from April 2024. Industry's capacity utilization rate fell marginally to 77.7%, staying below the 52-year average of 79.6%. Seen as an early indicator of inflation, the capacity rate has been safely under the long-range average since late 2022. Friday Housing construction in April stayed in a relatively narrow band that has accompanied higher interest rates since mid-2022. A Commerce Department report on building permits and housing starts showed the indicators on par with levels in early 2007, just before the Great Recession. The number of houses under construction has been declining since late 2023 but remained near the housing boom peak of 2006. Economists have blamed a lack of inventory for years of escalating housing prices. The University of Michigan said consumer sentiment sank slightly from the end of April following four months of sharp declines. Since January, sentiment was down nearly 30%. More consumers spontaneously mentioned tariff uncertainty as reasons for angst for the economy and their personal finances.

In this filing, Sean Combs's legal team reaffirms their argument to exclude evidence under Federal Rules of Evidence 413 and 404(b), which allow the introduction of prior sexual misconduct or other bad acts to show a defendant's propensity or motive in certain cases. Combs' attorneys argue that the plaintiff's attempt to introduce decades-old allegations and unrelated accusations from other individuals is highly prejudicial, lacks probative value, and would only serve to inflame the jury. They assert that these allegations are unsubstantiated, temporally remote, and bear no direct connection to the claims at issue in this specific case. They argue that the plaintiff is improperly attempting to create a pattern by stacking unrelated claims that would unfairly bias a jury.The reply also takes aim at the plaintiff's justification for using Rule 404(b) evidence, stating that it's being used to improperly suggest character conformity — the very use the rule is designed to prevent. Combs' team emphasizes that allowing this evidence would undermine his right to a fair trial by distracting from the core facts of the case and creating a “trial within a trial” over the truthfulness of other claims. They argue the evidence should be excluded under Rule 403 as well, due to the overwhelming danger of unfair prejudice substantially outweighing any alleged probative value. In conclusion, they urge the court to grant their motion and prevent the introduction of prior bad acts or sexual misconduct allegations under both Rule 413 and Rule 404(b).to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.216.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

N Engl J Med 1986; 314:1547-52Background Into the mid-1980's, digoxin and diuretics were the mainstay of chronic disease management for congestive heart failure. Vasodilator agents were also commonly used based on limited data of their favorable hemodynamic effects. No sufficiently powered trials in this space had been performed to assess whether administration of vasodilators or any other agents improved long-term morbidity or mortality for heart failure patients. The V-HEFT trial was undertaken to test the hypotheses that 2 widely used vasodilator regimens (prazosin or a combination of hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate) were superior for reducing death versus placebo. The trial was sponsored by the Veterans Administration and only enrolled men.Patients Men between the ages of 18 and 75 were recruited from 11 participating Veterans Administration hospitals and had to have chronic congestive heart failure based on either evidence of cardiac dilatation or left ventricular dysfunction (EF 0.7 ng/mL and euvolemic volume status. Clinical evaluations and exercise-tolerance tests on 2 consecutive visits, two weeks apart, had to reveal clinical and exercise stability before randomization could occur. Following randomization, patients continued to receive the optimal dose of digoxin and diuretic along with 1 of 3 study regimens. The placebo group was given placebo tablets and placebo capsules and instructed to take them 4 times a day. The prazosin group took 2.5 mg prazosin capsules and placebo tablets 4 times a day. The hydralazine-isosorbide dinitrate group took 37.5 mg hydralazine capsules and 20 mg isosorbide dinitrate tablets 4 times a day.In all groups, therapy began with 1 capsule and 1 tablet to be taken 4 times a day. In the absence of side effects, this was increased to 2 capsules and 2 tablets 4 times a day for a total of 20 mg of prazosin or 300-160 mg of hydralazine-isosorbide dinitrate. If drug-related side effects occurred, the dose could be reduced to half a tablet 4 times per day or to one capsule 2 times per day. If the dose was reduced, an attempt was made later to reinstitute the full dose.In order to limit dropouts, rigorous criteria were established for “treatment failures.” Physicians were advised to hospitalize patients with worsening symptoms, and, if appropriate, to use temporary intravenous vasodilator or inotropic interventions for stabilization. Physicians were encouraged to resume study medications upon discharge. At least 2 such hospitalizations were required, along with objective evidence of deterioration, before the study medications were discontinued and replaced with known therapy.Endpoints The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality.Results 642 patients were enrolled (273 in placebo group, 183 in prazosin group and 186 in the hydralazine-isosorbide dinitrate group). Excluding discontinuations that took place within 1 month before death, 47 patients (17%) discontinued one or both types of placebos, 43 patients (23%) discontinued prazosin, and 60 patients (32%) discontinued either one or both drugs in the hydralazine-isosorbide group. Six months after randomization, the average prescribed doses were 18.6 mg per day of prazosin, 270 mg per day of hydralazine, and 136 mg per day of isosorbide dinitrate. More than 85% of the prescribed drugs were taken in each treatment group.The mean follow-up was 2.3 years (range 6 months to 5.7 years). Only 4 patients were lost to follow up (2 in placebo group, 1 in prazosin group, and 1 in hydralazine-dinitrate group). There were 120 deaths in placebo group (44%; 19 per 100 patient years), 91 in the prazosin group (50%; 22 per 100 patient years), 72 in the hydralazine-dinitrate group (39%; 17 per 100 patient years). A reduction in mortality over the entire follow-up period was observed in the hydralazine-nitrate group compared with placebo (p = 0.093 on the log-rank test and p = 0.046 on the generalized Wilcoxon test, which gives more weight to treatment differences occurring in the earlier part of the mortality curves and less weight to the latter part, where the numbers are smaller). The absolute difference in mortality between these groups increased during three years and then began to diminish. The absolute difference in mortality between the placebo group and hydralazine-isosorbide groups at years 1 through 4 was 7%, 9%, 11% and 4%, respectively.Prespecified subgroup analysis in CAD vs no CAD stratification showed no significant treatment effect heterogeneity for hydralazine-nitrate among those with CAD although the absolute difference in mortality between groups was numerically higher for patients with CAD.At 8 weeks and 1 year, SBP (-4.1 and -4.6 mmHg) and DBP (-3.2 and -2.7 mmHg) decreased the most in the prazosin group compared to placebo. Hydralazine-nitrate was not associated with a statistically significant nor clinically significant difference in BP with exception of DBP at 8 weeks. The EF rose significantly at 8 weeks and 1 year in the hydralazine-nitrate group (+2.9 and +4.2) compared to placebo but not in the prazosin group.Side effects were reported in 4.0% of placebo patients, 11% of prazosin patients and 19% of hydralazine-nitrate patients, respectively. The most common side effects were headache and dizziness. Headache was reported in 12% of hydralazine-nitrate patients.Conclusions This study compared the combination of hydralazine-isosorbide dinitrate or prazosin to placebo in patients with chronic congestive heart failure who were optimized on digoxin and diuretic therapy. In what appears to be a young (58 years) and highly selected population of clinically stable, male veterans with dilated cardiomyopathies and low symptom burdens, the combination of hydralazine-isosorbide reduced death by 2 per 100 patient years, increased EF by 4% at 1 year and did not significantly alter BP compared to placebo. Side effects were reported in approximately 1 out of 5 patients with the most common being headache and approximately 1 out of 3 discontinued 1 or both study drugs. Prasozin did not reduce death or increase EF but did reduce BP compared to placebo. The internal validity of the study is high with only a few minor imbalances in baseline characteristics, which do not appear clinically relevant nor to consistently favor any one group. Less than 1% of patients were lost to follow up with no significant imbalances between groups. The external validity is limited by the fact that this is a population of male veterans and the etiologic distribution of cardiomyopathy and heart failure is likely different from a general heart failure population; etiologic causes of death are also likely to be different. Furthermore, the population is highly selected and its unclear how many patients from the general heart failure population would meet study criteria.Cardiology Trial's Substack is a reader-supported publication.

The United Kingdom Supreme Court has ruled that trans women do not meet the definition of women under UK equality laws. The decision means services for women, such as refuges, hospital wards, and toilets, can exclude trans women. For International Desk, Wire Host Caeden spoke to Jane Fae, a director at TransActual UK, about this decision and its backlash.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order called “Keeping Men out of Women's Sports” prohibiting all participants who do not meet the government's definition of biological females from competing in girls' and women's sports. The order directs the federal government to withhold funding from K-12 schools and colleges that do not comply, drawing authority from Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972. Furthermore, it requires representatives of the governing bodies of major sports to standardize eligibility requirements for sports, including the Olympics, within 60 days.
