| contents | <p><strong><span>Objectives. </span></strong><span>This literature review aims to evaluate the clinical and pathophysiological efficacy of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), given the historical lack of therapies with proven prognostic benefit for this subgroup.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Methods. </span></strong><span>A comprehensive analysis of literature sources was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and HINARI. The review included major randomized clinical trials (EMPEROR-Preserved, DELIVER, PRESERVED-HF, SOLOIST-WHF, EMPULSE), relevant meta-analyses, pathophysiological mechanisms, and current recommendations from international guidelines (ACC/AHA/HFSA and ESC), regarding heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

The PRESERVED-HF trial confirmed improvements in quality of life and functional capacity with dapagliflozin.
