The constellation of HFpEF, multimorbidity and aging creates many demands that people with HFpEF are expected to manage. Concurrently, the same syndromes threaten their ability to physically enact this work....


Conclusions: The constellation of HFpEF, multimorbidity and aging creates many demands that people with HFpEF are expected to manage. Concurrently, the same syndromes threaten their ability to physically enact this work. Patients' recollections of their interactions with health professionals suggest there is widespread misunderstanding of HFpEF,...

The breakthrough trials increased prescription rates not only for patients to whom the trial results could be extrapolated but also for those in whom trial benefits were not certain. Our...


Conclusions: What is new and conclusion: The breakthrough trials increased prescription rates not only for patients to whom the trial results could be extrapolated but also for those in whom trial benefits were not certain. Our findings suggest that information about breakthrough trials may need to be provided along with data on trial result...

Relevance: Across differing spectrums of cardiac function and cardiac pathologies, there are strong associations between measures of cardiorespiratory fitness and burden of symptoms, quality of life, and prognosis. In this part 2 of a 4-part series, we contend that there is a strong association among physical activity, cardiorespiratory...

Renal Effects of Empagliflozin in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36045524/

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. It leads to various long-term complications such as diabetic nephropathy. Diabetes nephropathy is the...


Conclusions: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor of empagliflozin is a potent anti-hyperglycemic agent. In addition, it has been shown to have some pharmacologic potentials to provide renoprotective effects in patients with T2DM. In current study, we review the available clinical data on the potential renoprotective effects of this drug...
