Empagliflozin protects against heart failure with preserved ejection fraction partly by inhibiting the senescence-associated STAT1–STING axis

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a mortal clinical syndrome without effective therapies. Empagliflozin (EMPA) improves cardiovascular outcomes in HFpEF patients, but the underlying mec.
