A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11918596B2) discloses a method for reducing the risk of heart failure or hospitalization for heart failure in patients with a previous or existing myocardial infarction. The method involves administering a therapeutically effective amount of empagliflozin, with options for dosage ranging from 10 mg to 25 mg, once daily. The treatment aims to reduce the risk of heart failure or hospitalization for heart failure in these patients, providing a potential preventive measure for individuals with a history of myocardial infarction.

Furthermore, the patent also covers a similar method for patients with a confirmed history of myocardial infarction, emphasizing the administration of empagliflozin once daily in either 10 mg or 25 mg doses. The goal remains consistent in both scenarios, focusing on reducing the risk of heart failure or hospitalization for heart failure in these specific patient populations. By outlining specific dosage regimens and treatment outcomes, this patent provides a structured approach to utilizing empagliflozin as a potential therapeutic intervention for individuals at risk of heart failure post-myocardial infarction.
