Long-Term Efficacy of SGLT2 Inhibitors for Elderly Patients with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure: The OASIS-HF Study

ESC Heart FailPublished Prospective observational cohort study

Authors' conclusion

The SGLT2i are not only associated with the reduction of the composite events of HF rehospitalization or cardiovascular death and protect against worsening renal function but also with a decrease in long-term repeated HF rehospitalizations.
