Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new class of drugs that lower blood glucose levels while decreasing blood pressure, volume loss, and weight loss. SGLT2 inhibitors were studied to determine their effectiveness in treating cardiovascular disease and their side effects. Study outcomes related to cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes were examined in patients on SGLT2 inhibitors by searching PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and SCOPUS. Articles related to clinical trials, reviews, and meta-analyses were considered. A review of SGLT2 inhibitors' mechanisms of action in preventing cardiovascular (CVS) disease progression was described. We then reviewed the possible effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on CVS dysfunction development, composition, and stability. In the following, we discussed the impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on CVD events, such as ischemic strokes and myocardial infarctions, and their role in treating congestive heart failure and cardiovascular mortality.
