Current 24 - Support for SGLT2i Use in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Cardi-OH

 

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a key medication option for patients with type 2 diabetes and are a component of guideline-directed medical therapy for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).1  

A 2022 meta-analysis published in The Lancet analyzed data from five clinical trials, including the DELIVER trial and the EMPEROR-Preserved trial, provides data to support the use of SGLT2i in heart failure with both reduced and preserved ejection fraction, independent of diabetes status.2-4  SGLT2i were found to reduce the risk of the composite and individual outcomes for cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure; all-cause mortality was also reduced. Among all five trials, treatment with SGLT2i reduced the risk of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure, with a number needed to treat of 25. This meta-analysis adds to the growing evidence supporting SGLT2i use in heart failure across the spectrum of heart failure severity and patient characteristics.2
