537 million people
worldwide are living with diabetes. By 2045, an estimated 783 million people worldwide will live with diabetes2
For your patients with type 2 diabetes, CV death may be closer than you think.1
For your type 2 diabetes patients with hypertension and coronary artery disease (CAD) who are on metformin5, the battle against CV death has
already launched9
JARDIANCE allows you to do more to protect your patients from the risk of CV death.4
People with type 2 diabetes are
2-4x more likely
To develop cv disease than people
without diabetes1
Despite advances in care
one in two patients
with type 2 diabetes still dies of a
CV event worldwide5
Over 4 MILLION patient-years of treatment8
Over 4 years of worldwide experience8
In the landmark EMPA-REG OUTCOME® trial, in patients with type 2 diabetes and established CV disease – most commonly CAD4
Established CV disease may include:
Vascular manifestations:4,7
- • Coronary artery disease (CAD)
- Evidence of single or multi-vessel disease
- • Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
- or
Prior atherothrombotic events:7
- • History of myocardial infarction (MI)
- • History of stroke
>75 % of patients had arterial vascular disease7
20.8 % of patients had PAD
65 % of patients had a history of MI/and or stroke7
JARDIANCE is the most commonly prescribed SGLT2 inhibitor in the world, and it is now recommended by more than 50 guidelines worldwide.8
The 2019 ADA-EASD Consensus report states:9
- The selection of medication added to metformin is based on the presence of established ASCVD and other comorbidities such as HF or CKD.9
- Select an SGLT2 inhibitor such as Jardiance, with proven CVD benefit for patients with ASCVD with or without HF (in patients with adequate GFR).9
JARDIANCE offers convenient, once-daily oral dosing:3
- The recommended starting dose of JARDIANCE is 10 mg once daily
- In patients tolerating JARDIANCE 10 mg once daily and requiring additional glycemic control, the dose can be increased to 25 mg once daily
- JARDIANCE can be taken with or without food, at any time of the day
JARDIANCE could add 2.5 years to the life of a 60-year-old patient with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.10
American Diabetes Association9
For people with type 2 diabetes and established ASCVD who need more glucose-lowering treatment than metformin and lifestyle changes... incorporating one of the SGLT2 inhibitors or GLP-1 receptor agonists that have been shown to reduce cardiovascular events is recommended.
European Society of Cardiology11
Recently, the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin demonstrated significant reductions in CVD death (by 38%) and all-cause mortality (by 32%), as well as hospitalization for HF (by 35%), when compared to standard care, implying that use of an SGLT2 inhibitor should begin very early in the course of management of patients with DM and CVD7.
Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology12
Empagliflozin should be considered in T2D patients to prevent or delay the onset of HF.
American Diabetes Association and European Association for the Study of Diabetes Consensus Report9
SGLT2 inhibitors or GLP-1 receptor agonists with proven cardiovascular benefit are recommended as part of glycemic management in patients with type 2 diabetes who have established ASCVD12.
American College of Cardiology Expert Consensus Decision Pathway13
With respect to HF events, SGLT2 inhibitors such as Jardiance have demonstrated substantial benefits in reducing hospitilisations for heart failure and CV deaths.13
