Title: Sodium‐glucose co‐transporter‐2 inhibitors: Writing the next chapter of a unique success story.
Authors: Festa, Andreas; Saely, Christoph H.; Drexel, Heinz
Abstract: Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and chronic heart failure. Clinical trials have shown significant benefits in reducing blood glucose levels and improving cardiovascular outcomes. However, despite the growing evidence supporting their effectiveness, there is still a lack of widespread use of these drugs in clinical practice. The article emphasizes the need for better communication between healthcare providers and patients, addressing patient non-adherence and clinical inertia, and further research and education to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and real-world practice.
