Abstract :

Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome characterised by impairment of cardiac out-put that is insufficient to meet the bodies metabolic demand. HF can be broadly characterised into heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HEF PEF and HEF REF). HF is a significant burden on the NHS budget costing around 2% of the total budget and approximately 70% of this total is due to costs of hospitalisation. This will concentrate of SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction. SGLT-2 inhibitors have been posed at novel adjuvant treatment in patients with heart failure. Five randomised controlled trials will be described in detail. In total 22,313 participants were randomly assigned to SGLT-2 inhibitors (N=12,529 or placebo) (N=9784). Overall participants in the SGLT-2 inhibitors had a reduced risk of reduced risk of hospitalised heart failure, major adverse cardiac events, cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. In conclusion; SGLT-2 inhibitors reduced mortality and morbidity including hospitalisation of participants of HEF REF and they should be added to the armamentarium of evidence based therapy for heart failure.
