Comparative effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors on heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in diabetic patients: a meta-analysis

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is common in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), leading to high morbidity and mortality. Managing HFpEF in diabetic patients is challenging with limited trea.

Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People With Obesity and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction and Diabetes Mellitus

American College of Cardiology

The goal of the STEP-HFpEF DM trial was to compare the safety and efficacy of semaglutide among patients with obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).

Increasing Prediabetes remission for type 2 diabetes

Science Daily - Heart Disease

In mice with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), increasing ketone supply to the heart allowed their hearts to utilize more ketones and produce more energy.

Wegovy Helps HFpEF Patients With Diabetes Mellitus

Med Page Today

(MedPage Today) -- ATLANTA -- Weight loss and heart failure benefits with semaglutide (Wegovy) extended to patients with obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) who have type 2 diabetes, the STEP-HFpEF DM trial showed.

Obesity in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: Insights from the REDUCE LAP?HF II trial

European Journal of Heart Failure

Increasing severity of obesity is associated with multiple characteristics that may contribute to the development or worsening of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Dapagliflozin and Apparent Treatment-Resistant Hypertension in Heart Failure With Mildly Reduced or Preserved Ejection Fraction: The DELIVER Trial

Circulation

BACKGROUND:Apparent treatment-resistant hypertension (aTRH) is prevalent and associated with adverse outcomes in heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction. Less is known about the potential role of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibition in this high-risk population.

Empagliflozin and risk of lower respiratory tract infection in heart failure with mildly reduced and preserved ejection fraction: An EMPEROR?Preserved analysis

European Journal of Heart Failure

Patients with heart failure and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFmrEF/HFpEF) have a high risk of developing LRTI. Prior studies were able to show that sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors may reduce the incidence of LRTI in patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients who developed LRTI had a 2.7-fold
