Pediheart Podcast #293: Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors For ACHD Heart Failure
Listen now
Description
This week we review a recent work on the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in the ACHD heart failure patient from Europe. Can these agents impact heart failure outcomes in this patient group? What is the mechanism by which they may improve outcomes? Are there data on their effects on the single ventricle patient? What sorts of side effects can be seen and are these more or less commonly observed in the ACHD patient? We speak with the corresponding author of this week's work, Dr. Anastasia Egorova of Leiden University in the Netherlands.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jacc.2024.02.017
