Twenty-Four Hour Blood Pressure Response to Empagliflozin and Its Determinants in Normotensive Non-diabetic Subjects - PubMed

Twenty-Four Hour Blood Pressure Response to Empagliflozin and Its Determinants in Normotensive Non-diabetic Subjects - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35391843/

doi: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.854230. 1 Service of Nephrology and Hypertension, Department of Medicine, Lausanne University Hospital and University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. 2 Service of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, Lausanne University Hospital,...



Conclusion: SGLT2 inhibition lowers daytime and nighttime ambulatory systolic and diastolic BP in normotensive non-diabetic subjects. Twenty-four jour changes are pronounced and comparable to those described in diabetic or hypertensive subjects. Baseline ambulatory BP was the only identified determinant of systolic and diastolic BP response....

SGLT2 Inhibitors in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Heart Failure-A Concise Review - PubMed

SGLT2 Inhibitors in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Heart Failure-A Concise Review - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35329796/

The incidence of both diabetes mellitus type 2 and heart failure is rapidly growing, and the diseases often coexist. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a new antidiabetic drug class...



Conclusions: The expected paradigm shift in treatment strategies was reflected in the most recent 2021 guidelines published by the European Society of Cardiology, recommending dapagliflozin and empagliflozin as first-line treatment for heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction. Moreover, the recent results of the EMPEROR-Preserved...

Regulation of SARS CoV-2 host factors in the kidney and heart in rats with 5/6 nephrectomy-effects of salt, ARB, DPP4 inhibitor and SGLT2 blocker - BMC Nephrology

Regulation of SARS CoV-2 host factors in the kidney and heart in rats with 5/6 nephrectomy-effects of salt, ARB, DPP4 inhibitor and SGLT2 blocker - BMC Nephrology

Source : https://bmcnephrol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12882-022-02747-1

Background Host factors such as angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and the transmembrane protease, serine-subtype-2 (TMPRSS2) are important factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Clinical and pre-clinical studies demonstrated that RAAS-blocking agents can...



Conclusions: Our study indicated that there is no upregulation regarding host factors potentially promoting SARS-CoV-2 virus entry into host cells when the SGLT2-blocker empagliflozin, telmisartan and the DPP4-inhibitor blocker linagliptin are used. The results obtained in a preclinical, experimental non-diabetic kidney failure model need...
