Cardiovascular and Renal Outcomes with Empagliflozin in Heart Failure

TLDR
Those in the empagliflozin group had a lower risk of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure than those in the placebo group, regardless of the presence or absence of diabetes.
Abstract
Background Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure in patients regardless of the presence or absence of diabetes. More eviden...

Canagliflozin and cardiovascular and renal events in type 2 diabetes

TL;DR: Patients treated with canagliflozin had a lower risk of cardiovascular events than those who received placebo but a greater risk of amputation, primarily at the level of the toe or metatarsal.

Dapagliflozin in Patients with Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction

TL;DR: Among patients with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction, the risk of worsening heart failure or death from cardiovascular causes was lower among those who received dapagliflozin than amongThose who received placebo, regardless of the presence or absence of diabetes.

SGLT2 inhibitors for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular and renal outcomes in type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cardiovascular outcome trials.

TL;DR: SGLT2i have moderate benefits on atherosclerotic major adverse cardiovascular events that seem confined to patients with established atheroscerotic cardiovascular disease, however, they have robust benefits on reducing hospitalisation for heart failure and progression of renal disease regardless of existing atherosclerosis or a history of heart failure.

Evaluation of the effect of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibition with empagliflozin on morbidity and mortality of patients with chronic heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction: rationale for and design of the EMPEROR-Reduced trial.

TL;DR: The EMPEROR‐Reduced trial is well‐positioned to determine if the addition of empagliflozin can add meaningfully to current approaches that have established benefits in the treatment of chronic heart failure with left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
