متن کاملEmpagliflozin, Cardiovascular Outcomes, and Mortality in Type 2 Diabetes.
BACKGROUND The effects of empagliflozin, an inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2, in addition to standard care, on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes at high cardiovascular risk are not known.

متن کاملEmpagliflozin for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: An Overview of Phase 3 Clinical Trials

This mechanism is independent of β-cell function; thus, these agents are effective treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at theoretically any disease stage. This class should not confer an additional risk...
