DECLARE-TIMI 58 was the largest of the SGLT2 inhibitor cardiovascular outcome trials. It included a sizable primary prevention population, comprising around 60% of all recruited patients.
Its primary analysis showed cardioprotective benefits driven by a large reduction in the risk for heart failure hospitalization. Evidence for protective effects against myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular death were limited to patients with pre-existing overt atherosclerotic disease (nonsignificant but in line with the effect shown in other SGLT2 inhibitor trials).
The DECLARE-TIMI 58 investigators will provide an overview of their findings to date, including the recent analysis of renal outcomes, and present subgroup analyses of older study participants at the 55th EASD Annual Meeting (EASD 2019):
