Researchers have found in EMPEROR-preserved trial that in heart failure patients symptoms were improved, primary outcomes were reduced and hospitalizations were reduced in patients across various age spectrums.
The trial results were published in the journal, Journal of the American Academy of Cardiology, 2022.
Empagliflozin reduces cardiovascular death (CVD) or heart failure (HF) hospitalization (HFH) in patients with HF and preserved ejection fraction. But the effects and safety of this drug about age have not been studied. So to evaluate the relationship between age and empagliflozin effects, researchers conducted a prespecified analysis on the outcomes and safety of Empagliflozin in an EMPEROR-preserved trial.
