Early Benefit With Empagliflozin in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: Insights From the EMPEROR-Preserved Trial
Eur J Heart Fail 2022;24(2):245–8. doi:10.1002/ejhf.2420
Results reinforce sustained clinical, health status and quality of life benefits with empagliflozin in patients with HF‑pEF, and underscore the need for timely initiation of therapy.
Effects of Canagliflozin Versus Finerenone on Cardiorenal Outcomes: Exploratory Post-Hoc Analyses From FIDELIO-DKD Compared to Reported CREDENCE Results
Nephrol Dial Transplant 2021;gfab336 doi: 10.1093/ndt/gfab366
Finerenone and canagliflozin reduce cardiorenal risk in patients who are albuminuric. This exploratory post-hoc analyses by Agarwal et al. investigated how differences in trial design influenced observed treatment effects in the FIDELIO-DKD and CREDENCE studies.
Cardiovascular Events with Finerenone in Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes
N Engl J Med 2021;385:2252–63 doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa2110956
Finerenone has desirable effects on cardiorenal outcomes in patients with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD), type 2 diabetes and severely elevated albuminuria. The outcomes of the use of finerenone are unclear in patients with type 2 diabetes and a wider range of CKD.

Cardiovascular and Renal Outcomes with Empagliflozin in Heart Failure
N Engl J Med 2020;383:1413–24 DOI 10.1056/NEJMoa2022190
Empagliflozin demonstrated a reduction in CV death, HF hospitalisation, rate of eGFR decline and risk of serious renal outcomes in patients with chronic HF and reduced ejection fraction in the EMPEROR-reduced study.
