Abstract :
[en] The landmark study EMPA-REG OUTCOME firstly demonstrated both a cardiovascular and renal protection with empagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and established cardiovascular disease. Since 2015, two other trials showed a reduction in the hospitalisations for heart failure and the progression of the renal disease, also in patients with multiple risk factors, CANVAS with canagliflozin and DECLARE-TIMI 58 with dapagliflozin. CREDENCE (canagliflozin in T2DM patients with kidney disease) confirmed a renal protection and DAPA-HF (dapagliflozin in patients, with or without T2DM, but reduced ejection fraction) showed a less acute deterioration of heart failure. The positive effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on heart failure predominates, an effect recently confirmed in VERTIS CV with ertugliflozin.
