The Chinese Expert Consensus Recommendations on the Clinical Application of Sacubitril/valsartan in Patients With Hypertension document was recently published in the
Chinese Journal of Hypertension (2021; 29(2): 108-114). The recommendations were jointly compiled by the hypertension branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, the cardiovascular branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and the Chinese Hypertension League. Because it is the first expert consensus on the treatment of hypertension using angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), it is expected to serve as an important reference for developing standardized clinical application protocols for this drug.

On Tuesday, the first day of the 217th WMA Council Session, which was held online due to the pandemic instead of at the originally scheduled venue in Seoul, South Korea, top leaders voted on a resolution to support Taiwan s participation in the World Health Assembly (WHA) and WHO. After a period of intense debate between the Taiwan Medical Association (TMA) and Chinese Medical Doctor Association (CMDA), the motion was passed almost unanimously, with China being the sole dissenter.

A 43-year-old suspect, known by his surname Zeng, was detained following the attack, police said. An investigation is underway.
The authorities did not specify the motive of the attack, but Chinese media reported that Mr Zeng had been treated by Dr Hu a year ago.
But the patient had left the hospital without permission and refused to cooperate with the treatment prescribed by the cardiologist, a doctor at the hospital told Shanghai-based news outlet The Paper.
‘[He] blamed the doctor after relapsing,’ the anonymous medic added.
Footage obtained by Chinese media appears to show the aftermath of the attack as the cardiologist lying on a hospital bed while large blood splatters covered the room.
