OBJECTIVE To investigate the application and influencing factors of sodium-dependent glucose transporters 2 inhibitors（SGLT-2i） in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction（HFpEF） in the real world. METHODS Data from 358 patients with HFpEF who were hospitalized at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from May 2023 to May 2024 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into the SGLT-2i group and the non-SGLT-2i group based on whether they were prescribed SGLT-2i upon discharge. Baseline characteristics， comorbidities， and differences in drug treatment were compared between the two groups. Based on univariate analysis， multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent influencing factors of SGLT-2i use in patients with HFpEF， followed by further stratified analysis. RESULTS Among 358 HFpEF patients， the overall utilization rate of SGLT-2i was 33.5%. Combined with type 2 diabetes [OR＝9.063，95%CI（4.924-16.679） ] ， atrial fibrillation [OR＝3.135，95%CI（1.590-6.178） ] ， coronary artery heart disease [OR＝1.888，95%CI（1.072-3.327） ] and the use of loop diuretics [OR＝3.822， 95%CI （1.588-9.200） ] were all independent influencing factors for the use of SGLT-2i in patients with HFpEF （ P ＜0.05）. The results of the stratified descriptive analysis were consistent with those of the multivariate analysis， showing a higher utilization rate of SGLT-2i among patients with concomitant T2DM，atrial fibrillation， coronary artery heart disease， and those receiving loop diuretics （ P ＜0.05）； whereas the utilization rate of SGLT-2i was comparable across patients with different levels of renal function （ P ＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS In the real-world clinical practice， the utilization of SGLT-2i in patients with HFpEF remains suboptimal， and treatment coverage still needs to be improved. Their use of SGLT-2i is primarily influenced by the presence of type 2 diabetes， atrial fibrillation， coronary artery heart disease， and the use of loop diuretics.

Working memory is an executive memory process that includes encoding, maintenance, and retrieval. These processes can be modulated by transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) with sinusoidal waves. However, little is known about the impact of the rate of current change on working memory. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of two types of tACS with different rates of current change on working memory performance and brain activity. We applied a randomized, single-blind design and divided 81 young participants who received triangular wave tACS, sinusoidal wave tACS, or sham stimulation into three groups. Participants performed n-back tasks, and electroencephalograms were recorded before, during, and after active or sham stimulation. Compared to the baseline, working memory performance (accuracy and response time) improved after stimulation under all stimulation conditions. According to drift-diffusion model analysis, triangular wave tACS significantly increased the efficiency of non-target information processing. In addition, compared with sham conditions, triangular wave tACS reduced alpha power oscillations in the occipital lobe throughout the encoding period, while sinusoidal wave tACS increased theta power in the central frontal region only during the later encoding period. The brain network connectivity results showed that triangular wave tACS improved the clustering coefficient, local efficiency, and node degree intensity in the early encoding stage, and these parameters were positively correlated with the non-target drift rate and decision starting point. Our findings on how tACS modulates working memory indicate that triangular wave tACS significantly enhances brain network connectivity during the early encoding stage, demonstrating an improvement in the efficiency of working memory processing. In contrast, sinusoidal wave tACS increased the theta power during the later encoding stage, suggesting its potential critical role in late-stage information processing. These findings provide valuable insights into the potential mechanisms by which tACS modulates working memory.
