Key result
Combined dapagliflozin and roxadustat therapy synergistically protected heart and kidney functions against cardiorenal syndrome-induced damage in rats compared to singular therapy (p<0.0001).
Why the study?
It was unknown whether combined dapagliflozin and roxadustat therapy was superior to singular therapy in protecting heart and kidney functions in cardiorenal syndrome.
Does combined dapagliflozin and roxadustat improve heart and kidney functions in a rodent model of cardiorenal syndrome?

Animal data suggest DAPA-ROX synergy in rat CRS; leaves open translation to human cardiorenal syndrome.
Does combined dapagliflozin and roxadustat improve heart and kidney functions in a rodent model of cardiorenal syndrome?
p-value: p=<0.0001
Combined dapagliflozin and roxadustat therapy synergistically protects heart and kidney functions in a rodent model of cardiorenal syndrome.
Sung et al. (2024) studied Cardiorenal syndrome. Combined dapagliflozin and roxadustat vs. Singular therapy (dapagliflozin or roxadustat) and sham control was evaluated on Heart and kidney functions (BUN/creatinine, urine protein to creatinine ratio, left ventricular ejection fraction) (p=<0.0001). Combined dapagliflozin and roxadustat therapy synergistically protected heart and kidney functions against cardiorenal syndrome-induced damage in rats compared to singular therapy (p<0.0001).
