Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) represents one of the greatest unmet needs in medicine. In the EMPEROR-Preserved trial, recently reported in the NEJM, the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin reduced the primary outcome of heart failure hospitalizations and cardiovascular death by 21% in patients with HFpEF. This represents an important breakthrough in the war against heart failure.
射血分数保留的心衰(HFpEF)是目前医学领域尚未满足的最大需求之一。最近在《新英格兰医学杂志》(NEJM)上报道的 EMPEROR-Preserved 试验中,钠-葡萄糖共转运蛋白 2(SGLT2)抑制剂恩格列净使 HFpEF 患者的主要终点——心衰住院和心血管死亡降低了 21%。这是对抗心衰的一场重要突破。
