Effect of Canagliflozin on Heart Failure Hospitalization in Diabetes According to Baseline Heart Failure Risk

JACC Heart Fail. 2023. DOI: 10.1016/j.jchf.2023.03.025

In the CANVAS programme, canagliflozin reduced the risk of HF hospitalisation among individuals with T2D. This post hoc analysis evaluated heterogeneity in the treatment effects of canagliflozin on HF hospitalisation according to baseline HF risk as assessed by two diabetes-specific HF risk scores: WATCH-DM (for participants without prevalent HF) and TRS-HFDM (all participants).

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.

Cardiac and Kidney Benefits of Empagliflozin in Heart Failure Across the Spectrum of Kidney Function: Insights From the EMPEROR-Preserved Trial

European Journal of Heart Failure 2023 DOI 10.1002/ejhf.2857

In the EMPEROR-Preserved trial, empagliflozin was found to improve the clinical outcomes of patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). This pre-specified analysis sought to explore the effect of empagliflozin on cardiovascular (CV) and kidney outcomes across different levels of kidney function.

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.

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.

Efficacy of Empagliflozin in Heart Failure with Preserved versus Mid-range Ejection Fraction: a Pre-specified Analysis of EMPEROR-Preserved

Nat Med. 2022;28:2512–2520 DOI: 10.1038/s41591-022-02041-5

Results from EMPEROR-Preserved demonstrated that empagliflozin improved CV death and HF hospitalisation – the primary outcome – in patients with HF and LVEF >40%. This pre-specified analysis of EMPEROR-Preserved aimed to evaluate the effect of empagliflozin in patients with HFpEF (LVEF ≥50%) compared with patients who had HFmrEF (LVEF 41–49%).

Finerenone efficacy in patients with chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease

Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Pharmacother. 2022; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1093/ehjcvp/pvac054

Finerenone reduced the risk of CV and kidney outcomes consistently across the spectrum of CKD in patients with T2D, irrespective of prevalent ASCVD.

Empagliflozin and Left Ventricular Remodeling in People Without Diabetes: Primary Results of the EMPA-HEART 2 CardioLink-7 Randomized Clinical Trial

Circulation. 2022; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.062769

Among patients with neither diabetes nor significant HF but with risk factors for adverse cardiac remodelling, empagliflozin did not result in a meaningful reduction in change in left ventricular mass indexed (LVMi) to baseline body surface area (BSA) after 6 months as measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

SGLT2i have demonstrated reverse cardiac remodelling in patients with diabetes or HF, but their effects earlier in the natural history of HF are less well studied.

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.
