doi: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2021.101240. 1 Department of Renal Medicine, Clinical Research Center for Rare Diseases "Aldo and Cele Daccò", Centro Anna Maria Astori (IRCCS), Science and Technology Park Kilometro Rosso, Istituto di...
Interpretation: Our data suggests that empagliflozin might slow kidney function loss and delay the estimated onset of projected ESKD in patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease complicated by NRP.
Eligibility of Dapagliflozin and Empagliflozin in a Real-World Heart Failure Population - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35024052/
39-52% of patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction in this real-world heart failure population were eligible for SGLT2-inhibitor treatment, corresponding to 11-14% of all heart failure patients. Compared...
Conclusions: 39-52% of patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction in this real-world heart failure population were eligible for SGLT2-inhibitor treatment, corresponding to 11-14% of all heart failure patients. Compared to trial participants, eligible real-world patients were significantly older with worse renal function, more...
Robustness of outcomes in trials evaluating sodium-glucose co‐transporter 2 inhibitors for heart failure

Conclusion: Improvement in the composite outcome of first HF hospitalization or cardiovascular death was highly concordant and robust across sodium–glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor trials. In contrast, secondary endpoints of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality were statistically fragile, underscoring the need to power trials for...
Metabolic, structural and biochemical changes in diabetes and the development of heart failure - Diabetologia
Source : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00125-021-05637-7
Diabetes contributes to the development of heart failure through various metabolic, structural and biochemical changes. The presence of diabetes increases the risk for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and...
Conclusion/Relevance: Lipotoxicity and glucotoxicity also contribute to impairments in vascular function, cardiac contractility, calcium signalling, oxidative stress, cardiac efficiency and lipoapoptosis. Lastly, changes in protein acetylation, protein methylation and DNA methylation contribute to a myriad of gene expression and protein...
