Dr Jawad Haider Butt (Copenhagen University Hospital, DK) outlines the findings of a patient-level meta-analysis of the DAPA-HF and DELIVER trials, which studied the safety and effectiveness of dapagliflozin on patients with both peripheral arterial disease and heart failure. These trials covered the spectrum of patients with heart failure.
The findings of this meta-analysis suggest that dapagliflozin is effective in reducing the composite of worsening heart failure and cardiovascular death. This beneficial effect is not modified by PAD status. The risk of amputation within this patient cohort was not increased with dapagliflozin treatment as compared to placebo.
Interview Questions:
