Abstract

were associated with a significant reduction in hospitalization for heart failure risk among patients with type 2 diabetes without a cardiovascular disease history.

  • SGLT2 inhibitors were linked to a reduction in all-cause death risk compared to .
  • The composite risk of hospitalization for heart failure or all-cause death was also lower with SGLT2 inhibitors.
  • Significant risk reductions were observed in the full cohort, as well as in patients both with and without a cardiovascular disease history.
  • No significant reduction in hospitalization for heart failure was found in patients with a cardiovascular disease history.
