The Effect of Empagliflozin on Contractile Reserve in Heart Failure: Prespecified Sub-Study of a Randomized, Double-Blind, and Placebo-Controlled Trial
Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002870322000837?via=ihub
Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors improve cardiac structure but most studies suggest no change in left ventricular (LV) systolic function at rest. Whether SGLT2 inhibitors improve LV contractile reserve is unknown....
Conclusions: Empagliflozin for 12 weeks added to guideline-directed HF therapy did not improve LV contractile reserve in patients with HFrEF.

National Trends in Use of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors and Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists by Cardiologists and Other Specialties, 2015 to 2020 - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35475341/
Background Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) mitigate cardiovascular risk in individuals with type 2 diabetes, but most eligible patients do not receive them. We characterized...
Conclusions: While use of SGLT2is and GLP-1RAs by cardiologists in the United States increased substantially over a 6-year period, cardiologists still account for a very small proportion of all use, contributing to marked undertreatment of individuals with type 2 diabetes at high cardiovascular risk.

The Efficacy of Treatment Intensification by Quadruple Oral Therapy Compared to GLP-1RA Therapy in Poorly Controlled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients: A Real-world Data Study Minyoung Kim 1
Conclusion/Relevance: We compared the glycemic efficacy of treatment intensification between quadruple oral antidiabetic drug therapy and once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA)-based triple therapy in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus refractory to triple oral therapy.
