In this study, history of established ASCVD was associated with different hHF risks among SGLT2 inhibitors. For T2D patients without ASCVD, dapagliflozin may offer a more favorable hHF reduction effect, compared to empagliflozin, in clinical practice. Future prospective studies should be conducted to validate our findings (Cardiovascular Diabetology)

Empagliflozin in Heart Failure with a Preserved Ejection Fraction
Empagliflozin reduced the combined risk of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure in patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction, regardless of the presence or absence of diabetes (NEJM)
Proteomic mechanistic profile of patients with diabetes at risk of developing heart failure: insights from the HOMAGE trial
Amongst patients at risk for HF, those with diabetes have higher plasma concentrations of proteins involved in inflammation and proteolysis (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
Cardiovascular outcomes with sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors vs other glucose-lowering drugs in 13 countries across three continents: analysis of CVD-REAL data
The initiation of SGLT-2i as compared with other glucose-lowering drugs in routine clinical practice is associated with decreased risk of heart failure, all-cause death, myocardial infarction and stroke (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
Sotagliflozin in Patients with Diabetes and Recent Worsening Heart Failure
In patients with diabetes and recent worsening heart failure, sotagliflozin therapy, initiated before or shortly after discharge, resulted in a significantly lower total number of deaths from cardiovascular causes and hospitalizations and urgent visits for heart failure than placebo (NEJM)
Different effects of SGLT2 inhibitors according to the presence and types of heart failure in type 2 diabetic patients
Use of SGLT2i improved cardiac function in diabetic patients, regardless of the presence of HF. The improvements were more prominent in HF patients, especially in those with HFrEF. These improvements in cardiac function would contribute to the clinical benefit of SGLT2i (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
12‐Year Trends in Pharmacologic Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes among Patients with Heart Failure in the United States
Despite their promising cardiovascular safety profile, SGLT‐2i use remains relatively limited (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Dapagliflozin in Patients with Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction
Among patients with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction, the risk of worsening heart failure or death from cardiovascular causes was lower among those who received dapagliflozin than among those who received placebo, regardless of the presence or absence of diabetes (NEJM)
Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors (SGLT-2i) Reduce Hospitalization for Heart Failure Only and Have No Effect on Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Events: A Meta-Analysis
The predominant impact of SGLT-2i is on “hHF or CV mortality” composite driven predominantly by reduction in hHF and not atherosclerotic CV disease (Diabetes Therapy)
Heart failure among people with Type 2 diabetes mellitus: real‐world data of 289 954 people from a diabetes database
Heart failure is common in diabetes mellitus, but the prevalence in the DPV is lower frequent than expected. The reason for improved metabolic control in heart failure may be intensified therapy with insulin, lipid‐lowering medication and anti‐hypertensives in this cohort (Diabetic Medicine)
Comparative effectiveness of canagliflozin, SGLT2 inhibitors and non‐SGLT2 inhibitors on the risk of hospitalization for heart failure and amputation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
This study helps further characterize the potential benefits and harms of SGLT2i in routine clinical practice to complement evidence from clinical trials and prior observational studies (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Exploration of the clinical benefits of sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors in diabetic patients with concomitant heart failure
The beneficial effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on such outcomes and the heart itself are unique characteristics among antidiabetic agents, and SGLT2 inhibitors are expected to be a promising therapeutic option for CV disease and HF care (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
Effects of empagliflozin on risk for cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalization across the spectrum of heart failure risk in the EMPA-REG OUTCOME® trial
In patients with T2D and established CVD, a sizeable proportion without HF at baseline are at high or very high risk for HF outcomes, indicating the need for active case finding in this patient population. Empagliflozin consistently improved HF outcomes both in patients at low or high HF risk (European Heart Journal)
Cardiac Stress and Inflammatory Markers as Predictors of Heart Failure in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: The ADVANCE Trial
Only NT-proBNP strongly and consistently improved the prediction of heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes beyond a wide range of clinical risk factors and biomarkers (Diabetes Care)
Comparative Safety of Sulfonylurea and Metformin Monotherapy on the Risk of Heart Failure: A Cohort Study
Predominantly male patients initiating treatment for diabetes mellitus with sulfonylurea had a higher risk of heart failure and cardiovascular death compared to similar patients initiating metformin (Journal of the American Academy of Heart Association)
Association Between Sitagliptin Use and Heart Failure Hospitalization and Related Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Sitagliptin use does not affect the risk for hHF in T2DM, both overall and among high-risk patient subgroups (JAMA Cardiology)
Association Between Hospitalization for Heart Failure and Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
In patients with type 2 diabetes, there was no association between hHF, or other selected cardiovascular outcomes, and treatment with a DPP-4i relative to SU or treatment with saxagliptin relative to sitagliptin (Diabetes Care)
Intensity of statin therapy and new hospitalizations for heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes
In type 2 diabetes, moderate-intensity statins, in comparison to low-intensity or no statin, were associated with lower HF incidence independently of LDL levels or of CAD events (BMJ)
Risk of new-onset heart failure in patients using sitagliptin: a population-based cohort study
In our sample of patients who are at high risk of heart failure after acute coronary syndrome, sitagliptin exposure was not associated with an increased risk of de novo heart failure (Diabetic Medicine)
Glucose-lowering drugs or strategies and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with or at risk for type 2 diabetes: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
Compared with standard care, glycaemic lowering by various drugs or strategies might increase the risk of heart failure, with the magnitude of risk dependent on the method of glucose lowering and, potentially, weight gain (The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology)
