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.

Empagliflozin in Black Versus White Patients with Heart Failure: Analysis of EMPEROR-Pooled
Circulation. 2022; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.062644
While analyses from DAPA-HF and EMPEROR-Reduced demonstrated a consistent benefit of SGLT2i in Black patients, data were limited to HFrEF and included a small number of Black patients. In the current analysis, the efficacy and safety of empagliflozin according to Black vs White race in the Americas was assessed across the spectrum of EF in EMPEROR-Pooled, a combined dataset from both EMPEROR trials.

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.

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.
Empagliflozin for Heart Failure With Preserved Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction With and Without Diabetes
Circulation 2022; online ahead of print
In patients enrolled in EMPEROR-Preserved, empagliflozin significantly reduced the risk of heart failure (HF) outcomes irrespective of diabetes status.

Empagliflozin in the Treatment of Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction in Addition to Background Therapies and Therapeutic Combinations (EMPEROR-Reduced): A Post-hoc Analysis of a Randomised, Double-blind Trial
Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2022;10:35–45 doi.org/10.1016/S2213-8587(21)00292-8
The data from the trial suggests that empagliflozin may be considered as a foundational therapy in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. This post-hoc analysis of EMPEROR-Reduced – a randomised, double-blind, parallel-group trial – by Verma et al. evaluated the efficacy and safety of empagliflozin in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and to baseline treatment.
