Have Any Of You Taken Jardiance?
My new cardiologist just prescribed Jardiance for me. I know that all medications have a list of possible side effects, but I found this one to be a bit intimidating. Have any of you taken it, and if so, how did it affect you?
@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member I hope you’re doing better

Diabetes Vs. Cardiac. Not A Good Combination.
Endo specialist messaged me on my portal Thursday. He wanted to talk Friday morning about important changes and medicines. Made me nervous!! Never had a doctor message me before himself. We (Telehealth) over the portal. I liked it. Neat!! Diabetes T2DM with complications is affecting my ❤️ (CVD), Circulatory system and Kidneys.

Hello Heart Team. Have Anyone Use Jaundance Medication For Heart Failure (lower EF) What Was Your Experience
@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member
It should only be used if the patient has type 2 diabetes. It is not a heart medication and if you're not a diabetic you shouldn't take it. The improvement in HF is due… read more
I Get Breathless Upon Lying Flat On My Back, Why?
Because I am still awake when this happens, I can not attribute the breathlessness to sleep apnea (OSA), but wondering if it is due to GERD/LPR. I feel like I am being chocked and it is frightening. Can this be heart related? It goes away if I sit up, but my heart is already pounding.
Could This Be A Future Treatment For Heart Failure With Mildly Reduced Or Preserved Ejection Fraction?
Keep in mind, that this study was funded by Bayer the pharmaceutical company behind finerenone. That means we need more independent study but this seems promising
"Overall, heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction “have historically been difficult to treat and manage,” Dr. Jayne Morgan, an Atlanta-based cardiologist." "Heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction often can be managed with medications called sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 or SGLT2… read more

Hope to stay in touch
