Abstract

Heart failure is a frequent and highly debilitating pathology. Angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, β‐ blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and valsartan/sacubitril have been shown to reduce mortality in chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

The review presents the effects of SGLT‐2 inhibitors on the cardiovascular system and heart failure.
