Abstract. Effective treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF), with a focus on reducing mortality and improving the quality of life of patients is an urgent public health problem. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors are currently one of the most interesting and studied classes of drugs that demonstrate an improved prognosis in patients with cardiovascular diseases in diabetic and nondiabetic populations. The article describes in detail the known mechanisms of cardioprotective and nephroprotective effects of this class of drugs. A detailed review of studies published in recent years on the study of dapagliflozin on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus is presented. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the DAPA-HF study, which proved the effectiveness of using dapagliflozin in addition to standard therapy in patients with CHF with reduced ejection fraction.
