Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) improve cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and heart failure (HF), regardless of type 2 diabetes (T2D) status. Their benefits extend beyond glucose reduction, encompassing effects on intraglomerular pressure, preload/afterload, potassium levels, left ventricular function, sympathetic nervous system activity, hematologic parameters, uric acid levels, and potentially anti-inflammatory properties. This review explores the multifaceted mechanisms underlying these cardiorenal benefits.
