Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) consistently reduced the risk of serious hyperkalaemia (serum potassium [K+] ≥6.0 mmol/L) without increasing the risk of hypokalaemia (serum K+ ≤3.5 mmol/L) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) at high cardiovascular (CV) risk, or in those with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a meta-analysis has shown.

A moderate to high intake of alcohol appears to increase the risk of heart failure (HF) progression in individuals with pre-HF, according to a study presented at Heart Failure 2022.
