Getting my #flozin fix on a Sunday catching up on #ESC2022 #ESCCongress2022 some thoughts in a thread 🧵 @UKCPACardiac @UKCPA @UKCPADiabetes
@escardio @hFRenDsUK

Let's start with the headline, drum roll please 🥁... Dapagliflozin in HFmrEF and HFpEF DELIVER Trial results 1. Background💔
HFpEF pts represent approx 50% of all people with HF
Currently limited Tx options in this group
Uncertainty remains re:
- People in highest part of EF range, ?attenuation of Tx effect
- People initiated on Tx during/soon after hospitalisation
- EF improved to >40%
