Timing of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor initiation and post‐discharge outcomes in acute heart failure with diabetes: A population‐based cohort study

European Journal of Heart Failure

Sodiumglucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in acute heart failure. Aims Results from randomized trials suggest benefit of sodiumglucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor initiation in clinically stable acute heart failure. Follow-up started from discharge for maximum 1 year.

Trends in prognosis and use of SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA in patients with diabetes and coronary artery disease

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Data on major cardiovascular events (MACE; mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure) through December 2021 were obtained from national registries. The use of cardioprotective GLD increased rapidly in recent years (2016–2021; 7–47%) and was more common in younger patients (66 vs. 68 years) and men (72.9%

Abstract 4146823: Trends and Outcomes in Heart Failure Admissions and Cardiogenic Shock Among Patients with Congenital Heart Disease

Circulation

CHD admissions remained stable from 2016 to 2020. Variations in cardiogenic shock, MCS usage, and cardiac transplants emphasize the need for adaptive clinical practices to optimize patient outcomes. Patients without CHD were older (mean age 71.5 years) than those with DV-CHD (mean age 59.8 years) and SV-CHD (mean age 17.9

Impact of Advanced Therapy Centers on Characteristics and Outcomes of Heart Failure Admissions

Circulation: Heart Failure

Circulation: Heart Failure, Ahead of Print. Centers performing at least 1 heart transplant or left ventricular assist device were classified as ATCs. Patient characteristics, outcomes, and procedural volume were compared among 3 cohorts: admissions to non-ATCs, admissions to ATCs, and transfers to ATCs.

Abstract 4118341: Outcomes of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction Patients With Concurrent Opioid Use: Insights From the National Inpatient Sample

Circulation

As heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) comprises half of all heart failure cases, understanding its management and effect on outcomes is crucial. Background:Opioid use has increased significantly in the past few decades, impacting cardiac and non-cardiac patients.
