Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1236: The Validation and Determination of Empagliflozin Concentration in the Presence of Grapefruit Juice Using HPLC for Pharmacokinetic Applications
In conclusion, our results showed that the co-administration of grapefruit with empagliflozin should be cautiously monitored and avoided, in which grapefruit elevates the plasma level of empagliflozin. This may be attributed to the inhibition of the uridine enzyme in the grapefruit by hesperidin, naringin, and flavonoid. (Source: Molecules)

Early SGLT2 inhibitor use is associated with improved left atrial strain following acute coronary syndrome
CONCLUSION: In patients with ACS and T2D, addition of empagliflozin to standard ACS therapy prior to discharge is associated with improved LA function.PMID:38456717 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2024.2324221 (Source: Acta Cardiologica)

Adherence to newer second ‐line oral antidiabetic drugs among people with type 2 diabetes—A systematic review
The adherence to newer second-line oral antidiabetic drugs among people with type 2 diabetes was investigated in this study. A systematic literature search was performed in six databases. A total of 14948 records was retrieved from the databases of which 7 articles were included. The reported medication possession ratio (MPR) and treatment discontinuation was extracted from the articles, and these findings were visualised in figures and summarized in a narrative synthesis. The findings indicate that the adherence to the newer second-line OADs may be better than that of older OADs, but a study directly comparing older and n...

Empagliflozin improves left ventricular ejection fraction and end systolic volume in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease: a post-hoc analysis of EMPA-CARD trial
ConclusionEmpagliflozin can have cardioprotective benefits in subjects without HF. Further studies are required to determine the effect of Empagliflozin in non-HF patients.Trial registrationThe original EMPA-CARD study has been registered in Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials.www.IRCT.ir, Identifier: IRCT20190412043247N2. Registration Date: 6/13/2020. Registration timing: prospective. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders)

Empagliflozin and risk of lower respiratory tract infection in heart failure with mildly reduced and preserved ejection fraction: An EMPEROR ‐Preserved analysis
ConclusionIn EMPEROR-Preserved, LRTI was frequent and associated with a poor prognosis. Empagliflozin was associated with a reduced risk of LRTI compared to placebo. (Source: European Journal of Heart Failure)

Carbohydrate antigen 125 concentrations across the ejection fraction spectrum in chronic heart failure: The EMPEROR programme
ConclusionAcross the range of EF in patients with chronic HF enrolled in the EMPEROR trials, the majority of whom did not have clinical evidence of congestion, CA-125 concentrations were not significantly associated with congestive signs or symptoms. CA-125 concentrations may predict HF hospitalization/CV death in patients with HFrEF, but not those with HFpEF.Clinical Trial Registration: EMPEROR-Reduced (NCT03057977), EMPEROR-Preserved (NCT03057951).

Cardiovascular Outcomes With Empagliflozin and Dapagliflozin in Patients Without Diabetes
While the cardiovascular (CV) benefits with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are well known, their effects in patients without DM continue to be explored. We provide a meta-analysis of the available evidence. Online databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SGLT2i to placebo/control in patients without DM. The endpoints of interest were composite CV death/hospitalization for heart failure (HF) with individual components, all cause death, major adverse CV events (MACE) and serious adverse events.

A cost-effectiveness analysis of empagliflozin for heart failure patients across the full spectrum of ejection fraction in Spain: combined results of the EMPEROR-Preserved and EMPEROR-Reduced trials
CONCLUSIONS: Empagliflozin is the first treatment with established efficacy and cost-effectiveness for HF patients across EF from the perspective of healthcare payers in Spain. Empagliflozin also proved to be cost-effective for all subgroups of patients included in the analysis.PMID:38416135 | DOI:10.1080/14779072.2024.2324027 (Source: Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy)
