Abstract

(SGLT2is) may have favorable effects on (HFpEF) and (OSA).

  • SGLT2is could enhance heart and kidney function, particularly in patients with HFpEF.
  • These medications may help redistribute body fat, reducing visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue.
  • SGLT2is are associated with increased fat breakdown and fatty acid oxidation.
  • There is potential for SGLT2is to prevent the onset and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
  • The prevalence of NAFLD in patients with OSA is estimated to exceed 50%, highlighting a significant overlap between these conditions.
