| Summary: | It has been reported at the 2022 European Society of Cardiology Congress that the DELIVER trial has met its primary outcome – a relative reduction of 18% in a composite of worsening heart failure (HF) or cardiovascular death. These results, added to evidence from previously reported pivotal trials with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) in patients with reduced and preserved heart failure (HF), provide compelling evidence of the benefit of SGLT2is across the HF spectrum, irrespective of ejection fraction. New diagnostic algorithms that are quick and easy to implement at the point of care are needed for quick diagnosis and implementation of these drugs. Ejection fraction may come later for proper phenotyping. |
