Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effects of sotagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, on patients with type 2 diabetes recently hospitalized for worsening heart failure, comparing it to a placebo.
- In the trial involving 1222 patients, those on sotagliflozin exhibited a significantly lower rate of hospitalizations and cardiovascular deaths (51.0 events per 100 patient-years) compared to the placebo group (76.3 events per 100 patient-years).
- Although sotagliflozin was found to be effective, it was associated with higher instances of diarrhea and severe hypoglycemia compared to the placebo, indicating some safety concerns.

Objective: To assess whether long-term treatment with candesartan/hydrochlorothiazide, rosuvastatin, or their combination can slow cognitive decline in older people at intermediate cardiovascular risk.
Methods: The Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation-3 (HOPE-3) study was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial using a 2 × 2 factorial design. Participants without known cardiovascular disease or need for treatment were randomized to candesartan (16 mg) plus hydrochlorothiazide (12.
