Original Title: Inhibidores de SGLT2 para insuficiencia cardíaca
Authors' recommendations: High-quality evidence shows that adding SGLT2 inhibitors to standard optimized treatment for heart failure, mainly in patients with decreased left ventricle ejection fraction under 40%, significantly reduces cardiovascular mortality, hospitalizations due to heart failure and hospitalization times when compared with placebo. These results were consistent both in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Low-quality evidence, obtained from indirect comparisons, suggests that adding SGLT2 inhibitors to the standard optimized treatment for heart failure in patients with a left ventricle ejection fraction lower under 40%, would be, at least, as effective as adding sacubitril/valsartan in reducing cardiovascular mortality and hospitalizations due to heart failure. The clinical practice guidelines assessed recommend adding it to standard treatment, both in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with an ejection fraction under 40% (Argentine Society of Cardiology, Argentine Federation of Cardiology, American College of Cardiology, Canadian Cardiovascular Society. Public health funders from Canada and the United Kingdom cover SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with symptomatic heart failure with decreased left ventricle ejection fraction, while public funders from Brazil, Germany and some United States private funders just cover it in Type 2 diabetes patients. No cost-effectiveness or budget impact studies have been found in Argentina. Dapaglifozin proved to be cost-effective in high-income countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Australia as well as in China and Thailand. Empaglifozin proved to be cos-effective in the United Kingdom.
