Aims: In the EMPACT-MI trial, empagliflozin reduced heart failure (HF) hospitalizations but not mortality in acute myocardial infarction (MI). Contemporary reports of clinical event rates with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in acute MI trials are sparse. The treatment effect of empagliflozin in those with and without T2DM in acute MI is unknown.

The lymphatic system is responsible for the constant drainage of the compartment. In ADHF, the inefficiency of this system causes extravascular fluid accumulation, underscoring the crucial role of lymphatic system failure in ADHF's pathophysiology.

Methods And Results: We enrolled 17 321 participants with HF from 40 countries. Participants were followed for a median (25th-75th percentile) of 2.
Article Synopsis
- Physicians often don't follow heart failure treatment guidelines well, particularly when it comes to prescribed dosage levels.
- Non-cardiologists usually show even lower compliance with these guidelines, which can negatively affect patient outcomes like survival rates and quality of life.
- This document seeks to identify reasons for these issues and offers updated guidance for starting and increasing heart failure medication dosages, aimed at both cardiologists and general practitioners.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence and impact of inter-atrial block (IAB) as an indicator of electrical dysfunction in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
- It examines two groups: ambulatory HFpEF patients and those recently hospitalized, assessing their risk for adverse events like hospitalization and death.
- Findings suggest that different stages of electrical atrial dysfunction significantly predict adverse outcomes, indicating that patients without dysfunction might require less intensive management.
