Abstract
This article reviews current literature on the efficacy of SGLT2 inhibitors in heart failure management and cardiovascular mortality reduction. Articles were selected from the PubMed database using the terms “Heart Failure,” “SGLT2 Inhibitors,” and “Cardiovascular Mortality.” The review includes recent studies investigating the effects of these inhibitors in various heart failure contexts, including patients with and without type 2 diabetes and with reduced and preserved ejection fraction. The findings indicate that introducing SGLT2 inhibitors into clinical practice represents a significant advancement in heart failure treatment, leading to substantial reductions in hospitalization and mortality rates and improved patient quality of life.
