Overview

                 
In this series, on behalf of the investigators, Dr Mikhail Kosiborod (St Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute, Kansas City, US) and Dr Dalane Kitzman (Wake Forest School of Medicine, North Carolina, US) address the PRESERVED-HF study.


In the first part of the programme, Dr Mikhail Kosiborod provides a comprehensive overview of the study, summarising the challenge of heart failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction, the study design, and key endpoints. Dr Kosiborod highlights that dapagliflozin significantly improved symptoms and physical limitations in patients with HFpEF at 12 weeks. The treatment effect was meaningful and statistically significant, with no safety signals.


In the second part of the programme, Dr Kosiborod is joined by Dr Kitzman for a peer-to-peer discussion. Each short video of this engaging four-part series takes a detailed look at the study: together, they access the study design, recap the main results, consider important baseline characteristics, and tackle the implications of this data for real world practice.
 

This programme is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from AstraZeneca
