This article discusses the recently published EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial, which assessed cardiovascular outcomes with empagliflozin therapy in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus and coexisting cardiovascular disease. The article describes the background and challenges of modern cardiovascular outcome trials, points out the strengths of the EMPA-REG OUTCOME study, and places the results in perspective. It highlights the significant impact that these results will have on cardiovascular preventive pharmacotherapy, and on future drug development in diabetes.
