Dapagliflozin cuts CV events even in sickest kidney disease patients

03 May 2021 by

The SGLT2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) dapagliflozin consistently reduces cardiovascular (CV) events regardless of baseline kidney function and albuminuria status in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) — with the greatest absolute benefit in those with most severe kidney disease, according to a prespecified secondary analysis of the DECLARE-TIMI* 58 trial.
