The Efficacy of Treatment Intensification by Quadruple Oral Therapy Compared to GLP-1RA Therapy in Poorly Controlled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients: A Real-world Data Study Minyoung Kim 1



Conclusion/Relevance: We compared the glycemic efficacy of treatment intensification between quadruple oral antidiabetic drug therapy and once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA)-based triple therapy in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus refractory to triple oral therapy.

Management of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: from neurohormonal antagonists to empagliflozin - Heart Failure Reviews

Management of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: from neurohormonal antagonists to empagliflozin - Heart Failure Reviews

Source : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10741-022-10228-8

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a highly prevalent syndrome with multifaceted pathophysiology. All approaches to neurohormonal modulation were shown not to improve survival in HFpEF, despite their...



Relevance: This paper recapitulates the journey from the failure of trials on neurohormonal antagonists to the attempts of personalized approaches and the new perspectives of SGLT2i therapy for HFpEF.

Comparative Efficacy of Dapagliflozin and Empagliflozin of a Fixed Dose in Heart Failure: A Network Meta-Analysis

Comparative Efficacy of Dapagliflozin and Empagliflozin of a Fixed Dose in Heart Failure: A Network Meta-Analysis

Source : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcvm.2022.869272/full

BackgroundThe efficacy of dapagliflozin and empagliflozin in sodium-glucose cotransport-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) in patients with heart failure (HF) has been discovered. However, which drug could improve varied prognostic outcomes has not...


Recommendations: Overall, 10 mg/day dapagliflozin may be the optimal recommendation for its premium and comprehensive effect on improving the prognosis of patients with HF compared to 10 mg/day empagliflozin.

The sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor empagliflozin ( Jardiance - Boehringer Ingelheim) was approved by the FDA in 2021 to reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure (HF) and...



CONCLUSION: Addition of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor empagliflozin (Jardiance) to standard treatment for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction reduced the composite risk of hospitalization for heart failure or cardiovascular death in patients with an LVEF >40%, with or without type 2 diabetes....
