Combining loop with thiazide diuretics for decompensated heart failure: the CLOROTIC trial

Joan Carles Trullas et al.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate whether adding hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) to intravenous furosemide is a safe and effective strategy for improving diuretic response in acute heart failure (AHF). The study found that adding HCTZ to loop diuretic therapy can improve diuretic response in patients with AHF, but may also lead to renal function impairment.

Dapagliflozin in Heart Failure with Mildly Reduced or Preserved Ejection Fraction

S. D. Solomon et al.

Summary: The study shows that SGLT2 inhibitors are effective in reducing the risk of hospitalization for heart failure and cardiovascular death among patients with chronic heart failure and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 40% or less. However, whether they are effective in patients with a higher left ventricular ejection fraction remains uncertain.

Zachary L. Cox et al.

Summary: The DICTATE-AHF trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of early initiation of dapagliflozin during acute heart failure hospitalization, comparing it to usual care. The trial will assess outcomes such as diuretic response, worsening heart failure, hospital readmission, NT-proBNP change, and safety endpoints.

Effect of Empagliflozin on Worsening Heart Failure Events in Patients With Heart Failure and Preserved Ejection Fraction EMPEROR-Preserved Trial

Milton Packer et al.

Summary: Empagliflozin significantly reduced the risk of heart failure-related inpatient and outpatient events in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, including cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, and urgent visits, while also decreasing total heart failure hospitalizations and intensive care admissions. Patients receiving empagliflozin may experience improved New York Heart Association functional class levels.
