EMPEROR-Preserved: A promise fulfilled
Abstract
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.
