- Jardiance (empagliflozin) was associated with a 44 percent reduction in relative risk of hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) compared with commonly used dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors

- Effect of Jardiance on HHF was consistent in patients with and without established cardiovascular disease

- Findings support data from the landmark EMPA-REG OUTCOME® trial, in which Jardiance reduced the relative risk of HHF by 35 percent in people with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease

- These early findings from EMPRISE, which will assess the first five years of Jardiance use in the U.S. through 2019, represent data collected between August 2014 and September 2016
