Description
Summary:SGLT2 inhibitors have been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and the development and decompensation of heart failure (HF) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The improved prognosis in HF may be related not only to the hypoglycemic effect of this drug class. The DAPA-HF study, which included patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction, demonstrated the benefit of dapagliflozin in reducing the risk of cardiovascular death and worsening HF, as well as improving HF symptoms compared to placebo, regardless of the presence of T2D and the recommended therapy for HF.
