Background Sodium glucose linked transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibition not only reduces
morbidity and mortality in patients with diagnosed heart failure but also prevents the
development of heart failure hospitalization in those at risk. While studies to date have
focused on the role of SGLT2 inhibition in left ventricular failure, whether this drug class is
efficacious in the treatment and prevention of right heart failure has not been explored.
Hypothesis We hypothesized that SGLT2 inhibition would reduce the structural, functional …

Background—Sodium glucose linked transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibition not only reduces
morbidity and mortality in patients with diagnosed heart failure but also prevents the
development of heart failure hospitalization in those at risk. While studies to date have
focused on the role of SGLT2 inhibition in left ventricular failure, whether this drug class
might be similarly efficacious in the treatment and prevention of right heart failure has not
been unexplored. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that SGLT2 inhibition would reduce the …
