Background: Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) remains associated with high rates of hospitalization and mortality despite advances in guideline-directed therapy. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, initially developed for diabetes management, have emerged as a novel therapeutic option in heart failure. Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on mortality, hospitalization, surrogate outcomes, and patient-reported health status in individuals with HFrEF. Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane CENTRAL was conducted (2015–2023). Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses examining SGLT2 inhibitors in adults with HFrEF. Ten clinical trials an.. Read More»
