ABSTRACT
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors have been shown to have significant metabolic, renal, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease benefits. Recent randomized controlled trials have extended these benefits to patients with heart failure. In fact, the robust findings from these studies in patients with any type of heart failure have led to the incorporation of this drug class in currently updated evidence-based guidelines for this condition. However, given the novelty in utilizing these agents in heart failure, there is uncertainty regarding place in therapy and sequencing in treatment. As such, this review aims to summarize existing literature to guide practitioners regarding the use of these agents in the management of heart failure.
