Nature Med 2022;28:568–74 doi: 10.1038/s41591-021-01659-1
Empagliflozin reduces the risk of cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalisation in patients with chronic heart failure, however, it is unknown whether empagliflozin improves clinical outcomes when initiated in patients who are hospitalised for acute heart failure. Voors et al. investigate this in a double-blind trial.
