Episode Synopsis

In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster explores a study on the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors, like empagliflozin, on erythropoiesis and iron mobilization in heart failure patients. The research reveals how these drugs activate key metabolic pathways, potentially enhancing iron utilization and improving clinical outcomes, with significant implications for treatment in heart failure and chronic kidney disease.
