Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (T2DM) with chronic heart failure (CHF) are at higher risk of hospitalization for HF, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) and renal replacement therapy (RRT). The results of the EMPA-REG OUTCOME study presented convincing evidence that the use of empagliflozin in these patients can significantly reduce the frequency of such hospitalizations. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and economic impact of empagliflozin in combination with standard of care (SoC) vs SoC in reducing the frequency of hospitalizations in T2DM patients with CHF.
