Dtb Podcast

In this podcast recorded in early March, David Phizackerley (DTB Editor-in-Chief) and James Cave (DTB Editor-in-Chief Emeritus) provide an overview of the April 2025 issue of DTB. The editorial discusses concerns over the use of feminist empowerment messages to sell tests and treatments. A DTB Select item summarises the results of an observational study that assessed the association between initiation of a triptan and the risk of myocardial infarction or stroke. The main article provides an overview of initiating angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin-II receptor antagonists in adults with CKD, highlighting current guideline recommendations and providing a practical approach to dealing with the challenges associated with their use.   Links Health Innovation Network: https://thehealthinnovationnetwork.co.uk/news/launch-of-new-game-changing-guide-to-tackle-overprescribing-and-support-governments-shifts-to-prevention-and-community/    Tackling overprescribing report: https://thehealthinnovatio
