SGLT2 Inhibitors for Pre-Heart Failure with Hypertension
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a medicine (SGLT2 inhibitor) given to people with high blood pressure and early signs of heart stress can help prevent heart failure. You may join if your blood pressure is controlled but tests show your heart is beginning to struggle.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have high blood pressure that is controlled with medication (below 140/90 mmHg).
- You are 18 years or older.
- In the past 3 months, a test has found one of these: enlarged left atrium (LAVI > 34 mL/m²), stiff heart muscle (E/e' > 9), or high heart strain marker (NT-proBNP > 125 ng/mL).
- You do not have diabetes, heart failure, or severe kidney disease (eGFR below 45).

This study tests whether a medication called empagliflozin (a diabetes drug) can improve heart function in older adults with high blood pressure and obesity who are at risk for heart failure but do not have it yet. You would take the pill daily and have heart ultrasounds to check your heart's health.
This study tests whether a medication called an SGLT2 inhibitor (a type of diabetes drug) can improve the function of the upper left heart chamber in people who have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, and abnormal blood sugar levels. If you qualify, the trial may help your heart work better and reduce your risk of stroke.
This trial tests whether combining two medicines (finerenone and empagliflozin) can help people who are overweight or have obesity and have high blood pressure that is not well controlled. It aims to see if the combination works better than placebo.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether starting an SGLT2 inhibitor early in the hospital can improve outcomes for people at high risk after acute (sudden) heart failure. If you qualify, you would be randomized to receive the study medicine or standard care, started within 12 hours of admission.
This trial tests whether an SGLT2 inhibitor (a type of diabetes drug) can help prevent heart attacks, strokes, and other heart problems in people with high blood pressure. You may be eligible if you are 60 or older, have high blood pressure, and have had a heart or blood vessel event (like a heart attack or stroke) or have certain risk factors (like smoking, high cholesterol, or obesity).
This trial studies whether two medicines—an SGLT2 inhibitor and potassium nitrate—can improve symptoms and heart function in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It focuses on people who still have signs of “stiff” or high filling pressure in the heart despite a normal-ish ejection fraction.
