SGLT2i + GLP-1 RA: A Dynamic Duo in HFpEF?

Heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for more than half of all heart failure cases and carries significant morbidity and mortality risk, especially after hospitalization1. Historically, management of the disease is largely focused on comorbidity management and lifestyle modifications, given that available therapies had not demonstrated sufficient

Two-Year Mortality Following Heart Failure Hospitalization in Patients with HFpEF Stratified by SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA Therapy: A Real-World Analysis

BACKGROUND Heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterized by frequent hospitalizations, and substantial mortality. While historically lacking effective therapies, newer treatments, including SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA), have shown potential benefits. However, the clinical course of HFpEF under these therapies remains incompletely characterized,

Acute Valve Syndrome in Aortic Stenosis

“These findings are extremely important and complementary to the recently presented EARLY TAVR Trial, published in the NEJM. The absence of symptoms was traditionally considered a sign of relative safety. However, this study shows how frequent acute valve syndrome is in patients undergoing AVR, and how patients would benefit greatly

Mortality Burden for Patients with Untreated Aortic Regurgitation

“This research underscores the poor outcomes for patients with moderate AR who exhibit cardiac damage, stressing the need to monitor for distinct characteristics in this population. These insights may also prompt a reassessment of our management strategies and suggest a shift in our approach to intensified follow-up for both moderate
