Core Tip

Core Tip: Compared to placebo, treatment with Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors improve cardiorenal outcomes in a broad range of disorders with significant heterogeneity in the subgroup of patients who are likely to benefit most from the treatment across their heart failure subtypes, New York Heart Associations classifications and ejection fraction levels. There are also adverse events associated with these drugs that deserve further research.
