Abstract

Acute heart failure is an emergency that increases cardiovascular mortality due to symptoms and signs of vascular congestion and hypoperfusion. Current management with diuretics, inotropes, and vasopressors improves the clinical status; However, the morbidity and mortality associated with this pathology remains highly significant. On the other hand, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2i) inhibitors have shown a reduction in hospitalization and cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic heart failure. Therefore, the objective of this article is to analyze the clinical effects of this pharmacological group in acute heart failure, based on scientific research. The findings of these investigations demonstrated a clinical benefit of SGLT2i on this pathology, based on parameters such as mortality, hospitalization, clinical events, renal function, diuretic effect and concentrations of the NTproBnp biomarker, which will be detailed in this article. Therefore, it was concluded that these drugs are safe on the clinical course of acute heart failure.
