💥 Should we start SGLT2i DURING hospitalization for acute heart failure?
🔍 New systematic review & meta-analysis: 8 RCTs | n = 4,096 patients
✅ In-hospital SGLT2i initiation significantly reduces:
• All-cause death → RR 0.61 (95% CI 0.47–0.81)
• Worsening HF events → RR 0.67 (95% CI 0.45–0.94)
• Cardiovascular death → RR 0.68 (95% CI 0.47–0.99)
🟡 No significant reduction in HF rehospitalization (RR 0.87)
⚠️ No increase in acute kidney injury or serious adverse events
💡 Key message: early in-hospital initiation of SGLT2i is safe and reduces mortality — don’t wait for discharge!
