The combination of NT-proBNP and hs-cTnT along with a few readily available clinical variables provides effective risk discrimination both for morbidity and mortality in patients with HFpEF. A predictive toolkit...
Conclusions: The combination of NT-proBNP and hs-cTnT along with a few readily available clinical variables provides effective risk discrimination both for morbidity and mortality in patients with HFpEF. A predictive toolkit facilitates the ready implementation of these risk models in routine clinical practice.

Background Clinical trials reported the benefit of empagliflozin when combined with standard treatment relative to cardiovascular death or heart failure (HF) hospitalization in patients with heart failure with reduced or...
Dapagliflozin and Empagliflozin in Heart Failure | IJGM
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, including dapagliflozin and empagliflozin, are a new type of oral glucose-lowering drugs that can control blood glucose by inhibiting SGLT2 in the kidney. The DAPA-HF trial...
Conclusion: Despite its many limitations, this study suggested that different SGLT2 inhibitors might have differences regarding efficacy in HFrEF. We look forward to future studies to verify our conjectures.
The Effects of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors (SLGT-2i) on Cardiovascular and Renal Outcomes in Non-diabetic Patients: A Systematic Review
Globally, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are the leading causes of mortality. Despite medical advances, these illnesses are still underdiagnosed and undermanaged. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) have...
Relevance: In this systematic review, we explored the outcomes of cardiovascular and renal protective effects utilizing SGLT-2i in three large randomized clinical trials with a cohort of both diabetes and non-diabetes patients.

Hyperuricaemia is common in HF and is an independent predictor of advanced disease severity and increased mortality. Empagliflozin induced a rapid and sustained reduction of SUA levels and of clinical...
Conclusion: Hyperuricaemia is common in HF and is an independent predictor of advanced disease severity and increased mortality. Empagliflozin induced a rapid and sustained reduction of SUA levels and of clinical events related to hyperuricaemia. The benefit of empagliflozin on the primary outcome was observed independently of SUA.
