N Engl J Med 2024;390:1455-1466 Background Despite advances in the care of patients after myocardial infarction, there remains residual risk of heart failure and death. The amount of risk parallels the degree of left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Previous studies have shown that the drug class of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce cardiovascular risk (especially recurrent heart failure) in multiple clinical situations.
