Effects of Empagliflozin on Cardiovascular and Renal Outcomes in Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction According to Age: a Secondary Analysis of EMPEROR-Reduced
Eur J Heart Fail. 2022; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1002/ejhf.2707
Results from EMPEROR-Reduced demonstrated that empagliflozin improved CV and renal outcomes in patients with HFrEF, but its efficacy and safety across patient's age is not well established.

Empagliflozin, Irrespective of Blood Pressure, Improves Outcomes in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: the EMPEROR-Preserved Trial
Eur Heart J. 2022; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehac693
Results from EMPEROR-Preserved demonstrated that empagliflozin improved CV and renal outcomes in patients with HFpEF, but its efficacy and safety with baseline SBP is not well established.

Efficacy of Empagliflozin in Heart Failure with Preserved versus Mid-range Ejection Fraction: a Pre-specified Analysis of EMPEROR-Preserved
Nat Med. 2022;28:2512–2520 DOI: 10.1038/s41591-022-02041-5
Results from EMPEROR-Preserved demonstrated that empagliflozin improved CV death and HF hospitalisation – the primary outcome – in patients with HF and LVEF >40%. This pre-specified analysis of EMPEROR-Preserved aimed to evaluate the effect of empagliflozin in patients with HFpEF (LVEF ≥50%) compared with patients who had HFmrEF (LVEF 41–49%).

Time to Clinical Benefit of Dapagliflozin in Patients With Heart Failure With Mildly Reduced or Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Prespecified Secondary Analysis of the DELIVER Randomized Clinical Trial
JAMA Cardiol. 2022; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2022.3750
Dapagliflozin was recently shown to reduce CV death or worsening HF events in patients with HF with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction in the DELIVER trial. This prespecified secondary analysis of DELIVER examined the timeline to onset of clinical benefit with dapagliflozin.
Effect of Dapagliflozin on Cause-Specific Mortality in Patients With Heart Failure Across the Spectrum of Ejection Fraction: A Participant-Level Pooled Analysis of DAPA-HF and DELIVER
JAMA Cardiol. 2022; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2022.3736
In a prospective, patient-level pooled meta-analysis of the DAPA-HF and DELIVER trials, dapagliflozin-associated reductions in CV mortality in patients with HF appeared to be principally due to lower rates of sudden death and HF death, regardless of EF.
Renal effects of empagliflozin in patients hospitalized for acute heart failure: from the EMPULSE trial
Eur J Heart Fail. 2022; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1002/ejhf.2681
In a post-hoc analysis of EMPULSE in patients with acute heart failure (AHF), the clinical benefit of empagliflozin was consistent regardless of baseline renal function.
In the primary analysis of EMPULSE trial, initiation of empagliflozin in patients hospitalised for acute HF resulted in clinical benefit (a composite of all-cause death, number of HF events and time to first HF event and quality of life) at 90 days. However, the effects of empagliflozin and other sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on renal function during a hospital admission for acute HF remain largely unknown.
Association of Empagliflozin Treatment With Albuminuria Levels in Patients With Heart Failure: A Secondary Analysis of EMPEROR-Pooled
JAMA Cardiol. 2022; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2022.2924
In a post-hoc analysis of EMPEROR-Pooled, empagliflozin was associated with a reduction in the primary outcome irrespective of albuminuria levels at baseline compared with placebo, and there was reduced progression to macroalbuminuria and reversion of macroalbuminuria.
Efficacy and Safety of Dapagliflozin in Heart Failure with Mildly Reduced or Preserved Ejection Fraction According to Age: The DELIVER Trial

Dapagliflozin in Patients Recently Hospitalized With Heart Failure and Mildly Reduced or Preserved Ejection Fraction
J Am Coll Cardiol. 2022; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2022.07.021
This prespecified analysis of the DELIVER trial found that dapagliflozin had beneficial effects on cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF) with mildly reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) who were enrolled during or following hospitalisation.
Dapagliflozin across the range of ejection fraction in patients with heart failure: a patient-level, pooled meta-analysis of DAPA-HF and DELIVER
Nat Med. 2022; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1038/s41591-022-01971-4
In a prospective, patient-level pooled meta-analysis of the DAPA-HF and DELIVER trials, dapagliflozin was found to improve clinical outcomes across the range of LVEF.
