Abstract
Heart failure (HF) affects more than 60 million individuals globally. Empagliflozin is currently approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic HF. Clinical trials have demonstrated that empagliflozin reduces the composite end point of hospitalizations for HF and mortality and improves the quality of life irrespective of left ventricular ejection fraction. Empagliflozin is a once-daily medication with minimal drug-drug interactions and does not require titration. Empagliflozin causes mild weight loss and does not significantly reduce blood pressure. Empagliflozin acts as an enabler for other HF drugs by reducing the risk of hyperkalemia. Empagliflozin is also beneficial for chronic kidney disease which exists commonly with HF. This review outlines the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and efficacy of empagliflozin in HF across various sub-groups and settings.
期刊介绍：
Research advances have contributed to improved outcomes across all specialties, but the rate of advancement in cardiology has been exceptional. Concurrently, the population of patients with cardiac conditions continues to grow and greater public awareness has increased patients" expectations of new drugs and devices. Future Cardiology (ISSN 1479-6678) reflects this new era of cardiology and highlights the new molecular approach to advancing cardiovascular therapy. Coverage will also reflect the major technological advances in bioengineering in cardiology in terms of advanced and robust devices, miniaturization, imaging, system modeling and information management issues.
