Sodium Glucose Cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) Inhibitors Across the Spectrum of Hypertension

Abstract

Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors represent a novel class of oral antihyperglycemic drugs that have been approved over the last decade for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Except the glucose-lowering effects, robust evidence also suggests that SGLT2 inhibitors confer benefits in cardiovascular system. The purpose of this review was to investigate the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors across the spectrum of arterial hypertension.

Keywords: SGLT-2 inhibitors; arterial hypertension; blood pressure; diabetes mellitus.
