Martinez, Marc S. Sabatine, Mikaela Sjöstrand, Scott D. Solomon, John J.V. McMurray, the DAPA-HF Investigators and CommitteesObjective: To determine whether the benefits of
dapagliflozin in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)
and type 2 diabetes in DAPA-HF varied by background glucose-lowering therapy
(GLT).
Research design and methods: We examined the effect of study treatment by the use or not of GLT, and by GLT classes and combinations. The primary outcome was a composite of worsening HF (hospitalization or urgent visit requiring intravenous therapy) or cardiovascular death.
Results: In the 2139 type 2 diabetes patients, the effect of dapagliflozin on the primary outcome was consistent by GLT use/no use (hazard ratio 0.72 [95%CI 0.58-0.88] versus 0.86 [0.60-1.23]; P-interaction=0.39) and across GLT classes.
Conclusions: In DAPA-HF, dapagliflozin improved outcomes irrespective of use/no use of GLT or by GLT type used in patients with type 2 diabetes and HFrEF.
