In this study, empagliflozin was shown to prevent one out of three cardiovascular deaths.

Life expectancy of people with T2D at high CV risk is, on average, reduced by up to twelve years1 with about 50 percent of deaths in people with T2D caused by CV disease.2,3 The effect of Jardiance in this trial was observed on top of standard of care. This means the benefit was seen over and above other treatments patients were already receiving for diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease (such as blood pressure and cholesterol lowering-medications).
