Effects of Empagliflozin on Symptoms, Physical Limitations and Quality of Life in Patients Hospitalized for Acute Heart Failure – Results From the EMPULSE Trial

Circulation 2022; online ahead of print doi:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.059725

This post hoc and prespecified analysis of the EMPULSE trial found that initiation of empagliflozin in patients hospitalised for acute heart failure (AHF) produced clinical benefit regardless of the degree of symptomatic impairment at baseline. Empagliflozin also improved symptoms, physical limitations, and quality of life – with benefits seen as early as 15 days and maintained through 90 days.

Effects of Once-Weekly Exenatide on Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes

N Engl J Med 2017;377:1228–39 DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1612917

The EXSCEL study showed that among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with or without previous cardiovascular (CV) disease, the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) did not differ significantly between patients who received exenatide and those who received placebo.

Liraglutide and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes

N Engl J Med 2016;375:311–22 DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1603827

The LEADER trial demonstrated CV benefits with liraglutide, and showed that the rate of the first occurrence of death from cardiovascular (CV) causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), or nonfatal stroke among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) was lower with liraglutide than with placebo.
