Several recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have demonstrated the wide clinical application of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in improving kidney and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with native kidney disease. In April 2021, Dapagliflozin became the first SGLT2 inhibitor to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) regardless of diabetic status. However, while these agents have drawn much acclaim for their cardiovascular and nephroprotective effects among patients with native kidney disease, little is known about the safety and efficacy of SGLT2i in the kidney transplant setting.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a condition with increasing disease burden. Prevalence of HFpEF is increasing, reflecting an increasingly elderly and comorbid population, as well as reinforcing the need for more treatments for this disease. The pathophysiology of HFpEF is complex.

The first cardiovascular (CV) safety trial conducted with a sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT)-2 inhibitor, Empagliflozin Cardiovascular Outcome Event Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients-Removing Excess Glucose (EMPA-REG OUTCOME), reported not only remarkable risk reductions in CV outcome, but also impressive improvements in renal outcome. Changes in renal hemodynamics could be involved in the benefit of SGLT2 inhibitors on renal outcomes. Considering that all patients of EMPA-REG OUTCOME had established atherosclerotic CV disease at baseline, many patients were also treated with several CV drugs at baseline, including RAS blockers, diuretics, calcium-channel blockers, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
