BACKGROUND: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure in patients with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction, but their effects in patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction are uncertain. METHODS: In this double-blind trial, we randomly assigned 5988 patients with class II-IV heart failure and an ejection fraction of more than 40% to receive empagliflozin (10 mg once daily) or placebo, in addition to usual therapy. The primary outcome was a composite of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure. RESULTS: Over a median of 26.2 months, a primary outcome event occurred in 415 of 2997 patients (13.8%) in the empagliflozin group and in 511 of 2991 patients (17.1%) in the placebo group (hazard ratio, 0.79; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.69 to 0.90; P<0.001). This effect was mainly related to a lower risk of hospitalization for heart failure in the empagliflozin group. The effects of empagliflozin appeared consistent in patients with or without diabetes. The total number of hospitalizations for heart failure was lower in the empagliflozin group than in the placebo group (407 with empagliflozin and 541 with placebo; hazard ratio, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.61 to 0.88; P<0.001). Uncomplicated genital and urinary tract infections and hypotension were reported more frequently with empagliflozin. CONCLUSIONS: 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.

背景:钠-葡萄糖共转运蛋白 2 抑制剂可降低射血分数降低的心力衰竭患者因心力衰竭住院的风险,但它们在射血分数保留的心力衰竭患者中的作用尚不确定。
方法:在这项双盲试验中,我们将 5988 例射血分数大于 40%的 II-IV 级心力衰竭患者随机分为接受恩格列净(每日 10mg,一次)或安慰剂治疗组,同时给予常规治疗。主要终点是心血管死亡或心力衰竭住院的复合终点。
结果:中位随访 26.2 个月期间,恩格列净组 2997 例患者中有 415 例(13.8%)和安慰剂组 2991 例患者中有 511 例(17.1%)发生主要终点事件(风险比,0.79;95%置信区间[CI],0.69 至 0.90;P<0.001)。这种效果主要与恩格列净组心力衰竭住院风险降低有关。恩格列净在有或无糖尿病的患者中效果一致。恩格列净组心力衰竭住院总次数低于安慰剂组(恩格列净组 407 例,安慰剂组 541 例;风险比,0.73;95%CI,0.61 至 0.88;P<0.001)。恩格列净组更常报告单纯性生殖道和尿路感染以及低血压。
结论:无论是否存在糖尿病,恩格列净均可降低射血分数保留的心力衰竭患者心血管死亡或心力衰竭住院的联合风险。(由勃林格殷格翰和礼来公司资助;EMPEROR-Preserved 临床试验.gov 编号,NCT03057951)。
