Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diabetes is an established risk factor of cardiovascular disease and predictor of poor outcome. This explain why achieving adequate management of diabetes and hyperlipidemia, is a corner stone in most cardiology patients’ treatment plan. SGLT-2 inhibitors showed proven benefits on improving outcome in heart failure patients, both systolic and diastolic, even these who are not diabetic. As well, SGLT-2 inhibitors are recommended in diabetic patients with established cardiovascular disease for primary prevention. This emerging role of SGLT-2 inhibitors on multiple cardiac conditions, suggests this topic of SGLT-2 inhibitors: a new insight in cardiology.
