The Impact of Obesity on Cardiovascular and Kidney Outcomes in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Treated with Finerenone: Post hoc analysis of the FIDELITY Study
Diabetes Obes Metab. 2023 doi Epub ahead of print : 10.1111/dom.15197
Patients with obesity may benefit more from treatment with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists given their higher levels of circulating aldosterone and therefore potentially higher levels of MRs in visceral fat. The aim of this analysis was to assess the effect of finerenone on the risk of cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes, with and without obesity.

Effects of Dapagliflozin on Hospitalisations in People with Type 2 Diabetes: Post-hoc Analyses of the DECLARE-TIMI 58 Trial
Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol. 2023;11:233–241 DOI: 10.1016/S2213-8587(23)00009-8
In patients with T2D at high risk of CV or kidney disease, SGLT2is consistently reduce the risk of HF hospitalisations. Less is known about their effects on hospitalisation from any cause, especially in patients with T2D without ASCVD, which includes most of the global population with T2D. Post hoc analyses of DECLARE-TIMI 58 assessed the effect of dapagliflozin on the risks of hospitalisations for any cause and for specific causes in patients with T2D with and without ASCVD.

Efficacy and Safety of Dapagliflozin by Baseline Insulin Regimen and Dose: Post Hoc Analyses From DECLARE-TIMI 58
Diabetes Care. 2022; online ahead of print DOI: 10.2337/dc22-1318
Limited data exist regarding the cardiorenal efficacy and safety of SGLT2i in patients treated with intensive insulin regimens including short-acting insulin or high insulin doses. This post hoc analysis of DECLARE-TIMI 58 examined the effects of dapagliflozin vs placebo among 7,013 insulin users at baseline, of whom 4,650 were on regimens that included short-acting insulin and 1,339 were receiving insulin >1 IU/kg.

Obesity and Effects of Dapagliflozin on Cardiovascular and Renal Outcomes in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the DECLARE-TIMI 58 trial
Eur Heart J 2022;43:2958-67 doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/ehab530
In the DECLARE-TIMI 58 trial, patients with type 2 diabetes and higher body weight were more likely to have hospitalisation for heart failure (HHF) and atrial fibrillation or flutter (AF/AFL).
Dapagliflozin and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes
N Engl J Med 2019;380:347–57 DOI 10.1056/NEJMoa1812389
Dapagliflozin was found to be noninferior to placebo in terms of major adverse cardiovascular events in the DECLARE-TIMI 58 trial.

N Engl J Med 2019;381:841–51 DOI 10.1056/NEJMoa1901118
In the PIONEER 6 trial, the cardiovascular risk profile of oral semaglutide was noninferior to placebo over 83 weeks.
