Summary

This study looked at whether empagliflozin, a diabetes drug, can improve heart structure in people with heart failure who do not have diabetes. 50 patients with preserved ejection fraction (a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff) took part. Researchers measured changes in heart stress markers like NT-ProBNP and sST2 to see if the drug helps the heart remodel and work better.
