PREDICTORS OF CHRONIC HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS TREATED WITH EMPAGLIFLOZIN - PubMed

PREDICTORS OF CHRONIC HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS TREATED WITH EMPAGLIFLOZIN - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36027111/

Currently, it's not well known what factors influenced the incidence of heart failure with preserved ejection (HFpEF) fraction in patients receiving sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). Objective: To evaluate...


Conclusions: Predictors for incidence HFpEF in patients with T2DM were age, diabetes duration, presence of abdominal obesity and galectin-3 levels higher than 10 ng/ml.

Conclusions: Basal NO emerged as a determinant of the renal hemodynamic response in the combination therapy of empagliflozin and linagliptin, but not in the combination therapy of insulin and metformin.

INFLUENCE OF MEAN OFFICE BLOOD PRESSURE(BP) LEVELS ON MORTALITY IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION (HFPEF) - PubMed

INFLUENCE OF MEAN OFFICE BLOOD PRESSURE(BP) LEVELS ON MORTALITY IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION (HFPEF) - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36026726/

In our study, we did not observe differences in mortality between patients with low normal or high SBP, neither on those with high, normal nor low DBP. Although there may...


Conclusions: In our study, we did not observe differences in mortality between patients with low normal or high SBP, neither on those with high, normal nor low DBP. Although there may be a selection bias and this is a retrospective study, more studies are needed to assess the influence of BP control on the evolution of HFpEF in octogenarian...

Empagliflozin prevents neointima formation by impairing smooth muscle cell proliferation and accelerating endothelial regeneration

Empagliflozin prevents neointima formation by impairing smooth muscle cell proliferation and accelerating endothelial regeneration

Source : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcvm.2022.956041/full

BackgroundEmpagliflozin, an inhibitor of the sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) and developed as an anti-diabetic agent exerts additional beneficial effects on heart failure outcomes. However, the effect of empagliflozin on...


Conclusion: Empagliflozin significantly reduces serum-induced proliferation and migration of SMCs in vitro and prevents neointima formation in vivo, while augmenting EC proliferation in vitro and re-endothelialization in vivo after vascular injury. These data document the functional impact of empagliflozin on vascular human SMCs and ECs and...

Cardiovascular Disease and Health-Related Quality of Life Among Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Older Adults - PubMed

Cardiovascular Disease and Health-Related Quality of Life Among Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Older Adults - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35981219/

Objectives: Assess the relationship between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (NH/PI) compared to white older adults. Methods: Data...


Discussion: Asian American and NH/PI older adults with CVD had poorer mental health compared to their white counterparts.
