Decline in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate After Dapagliflozin in Heart Failure With Mildly Reduced or Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Prespecified Secondary Analysis of the DELIVER Randomized Clinical Trial
JAMA Cardiol. 2023; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2023.4664
An initial decline in eGFR often occurs after initiating a SGLT2i and has been observed in patients with diabetes, CKD and HF. A prespecified analysis of DELIVER evaluated the magnitude and frequency of an initial decline in eGFR (within the first month) and its association with CV and renal outcomes in 5,788 patients with HFpEF or HFmrEF.

Racial Differences in Quality of Life in Patients With Heart Failure Treated With Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors: A Patient-Level Meta-Analysis of the CHIEF-HF, DEFINE-HF, and PRESERVED-HF Trials
Circulation. 2023; DOI: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.063263
Health status outcomes, including symptoms, function and QoL are worse for Black compared with White patients with HF. However, it is not known whether the health status benefits of SGLT2i are similar across races. This patient-level meta-analysis used data from three US-based trials that enrolled a substantial proportion of Black patients (DEFINE-HF, PRESERVED-HF and CHIEF-HF) to assess the effects of SGLT2is versus placebo on health status for Black compared with White patients with HF.
