Dapagliflozin for treating chronic heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction

NICE state:

  • dapagliflozin is recommended, within its marketing authorisation, as an option for treating symptomatic chronic heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction in adults

In the DELIVER study

  • dapagliflozin reduced the combined risk of worsening heart failure or cardiovascular death among patients with heart failure and a mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (2)
  • a pre-specified analysis showed that benefit of dapagliflozin was consistent across range of frailty studied & improvement in health-related quality of life with dapagliflozin occurred early and was greater in patients with greater frailty (3)
