Phenotyping in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: A key to find effective treatment - PubMed

Phenotyping in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: A key to find effective treatment - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35581935/

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is an increasingly widespread medical condition, with excessive morbidity and mortality. Recently, for the first time in HFpEF, a reduction in the primary...


Relevance: Herein, we review different approaches to HFpEF phenotyping and present some distinct HFpEF subtypes.

Empagliflozin Ameliorates Diabetic Cardiomyopathy via Attenuating Oxidative Stress and Improving Mitochondrial Function - PubMed

Empagliflozin Ameliorates Diabetic Cardiomyopathy via Attenuating Oxidative Stress and Improving Mitochondrial Function - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35585884/

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is considered to be a critical contributor to the development of heart failure. Empagliflozin (EMPA), a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, has been shown to prevent cardiovascular events...



Relevance: Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is considered to be a critical contributor to the development of heart failure. Empagliflozin (EMPA), a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, has been shown to prevent cardiovascular events and reduce the incidence of heart failure in randomized clinical trials. However, the mechanism of how EMPA...

Comparison of cardiovascular outcomes between SGLT2 inhibitors in diabetes mellitus - PubMed

Comparison of cardiovascular outcomes between SGLT2 inhibitors in diabetes mellitus - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35585590/

The risks for subsequent development of HF, MI, AP, stroke, and AF were comparable between individual SGLT2 inhibitors. This is the first study comparing the wide-range cardiovascular outcomes of patients...



Conclusion: The risks for subsequent development of HF, MI, AP, stroke, and AF were comparable between individual SGLT2 inhibitors. This is the first study comparing the wide-range cardiovascular outcomes of patients with DM treated with individual SGLT2 inhibitors using large-scale real-world data.

Metabolomics study reveals the alteration of fatty acid oxidation in the hearts of diabetic mice by empagliflozin

Metabolomics study reveals the alteration of fatty acid oxidation in the hearts of diabetic mice by empagliflozin

Source : https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2022/MO/D2MO00036A

Empagliflozin (Empa, SGLT2 inhibitor) is widely used in clinical situations for the management of diabetes. It has beneficial effects in reducing cardiac dysfunction and heart failure. However, rare studies have...



Conclusion: These results suggest that fatty acid oxidation is one of the targets for Empa treatment in the heart of db/db mice. This study provided new possibilities for the development of therapeutic interventions for diabetic cardiomyopathy.
