Abstract

Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) has been attracting attention for novel agent for patients with diabetes and also heart failure (HF), in which the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) has decreased. For standard cardiovascular treatment, 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure is recently presented. Some important perspectives were found, which are HF with mildly reduced EF (HFmrEF), HF with improved EF (HFimpEF) and HF with preserved EF (HFpEF). For patients with HFmrEF, SGLT2i can contribute reducing HF hospitalizations and cardiovascular death. From now, the guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) will contribute the standard and beneficial therapy.
