The SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin did not result in a reduced incidence of organ failure or death in patients with cardiometabolic risk factors who were hospitalized with COVID-19, according to the phase III DARE-19* trial. However, this finding does not support discontinuation of SGLT2 inhibitors in COVID-19 patients.

Insulin resistance by clamp analysis tied to LV dysfunction in diabetics

23 Jun 2021

Using the hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp as the gold-standard for assessment, recent research has shown that insulin resistance (IR) may be causally linked to left ventricular (LV) diastolic and systolic dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
