Comparative effectiveness of finerenone versus steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists on sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy in patients with diabetic kidney disease: a real-world cohort study.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study compared finerenone, a kidney and heart drug, with older water-pill-type drugs in people who have diabetic kidney disease. It looked at heart muscle trouble caused by severe infection (sepsis). Because it watched real-world records, it can show a link, not prove the drug caused the difference.
