Heart Failure (HF) is a chronic debilitating condition, which influences millions around the world. India has kept the second-most elevated expansion in the number of HF cases around the world, alongside the second-most noteworthy 1-year mortality result for HF. Notwithstanding huge advancements in the administration of HF, the mortality and bleakness rates remain unacceptably high, which shows neglected needs in HF the board. Gathering proof has laid out reliable cardiovascular and renoprotective impacts of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), regardless of diabetes status. The general wellbeing and advantages of SGLT2i in the unique situation HF hospitalization and mortality have been recognized by later rules. The advantages of SGLT2i have been laid out for HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Thus, SGLT2i including dapagliflozin and empagliflozin has been situated among the first-line treatment in the treatment calculation for HFrEF by the European Society of Cardiology 2021 rules. Late discoveries show comparable advantages of SGLT2i in HF people with preserved ejection fraction(HFpEF). Besides, SGLT2i lives up to the measures for a likely remedial choice for cardiorenal condition. In this way, SGLT2i is an area of strength for a to be situated as a strong illness changing treatment for HF with wide acknowledgment by clinicians.
