Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors in heart failure: an updated evidence-based practical guidance for clinicians
Résumé
The sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been shown to reduce risks of clinical events in patients with heart failure (HF), with early and sustained benefits regardless of ejection fraction, diabetic status, and care setting. As part and parcel of the modern foundational HF therapy, clinicians should be familiar with these drugs, in order to implement their use and limit the potential adverse effects. We present an up-to-date review of current evidence and a practical guide for the prescription of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with HF, highlighting important elements for patient selection, treatment initiation, dosing, and problem solving.
