Despite robust data supporting the use of the heart failure (HF) disease-modifying quadruple therapy (beta-blockers; angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors [ACEIs], angiotensin receptor blockers [ARBs], or angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibitors [ARNIs]; mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists; and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 [SGLT2] inhibitors) to decrease the risk of mortality and hospitalization for HF, a multifactorial suboptimal clinical guideline compliance persists amid uprising trend of HF hospitalization.(1, 2) Failure of initiating these lifesaving medications, in part, stems from concerns related tolerability and safety. While individual clinical trials have generally shown a good safety and tolerability profile for SGLT2 inhibitors in HF, the current meta-analytic level of evidence is mostly generated by cohorts that were not exclusively HF patients with even more limited meta-analytic safety evidence in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).(3, 4) The HF population is an exceptionally fragile population with a tendency to have several comorbidities that cumulatively result in a tenuous clinical status, in which a small change in their hemodynamics may result in clinically evident adverse changes. Plasma volume reduction by osmotic diuresis and natriuresis is one the proposed mechanisms that underlie the favorable HF outcomes of SGLT2 inhibitors.(5) However, this pathway can potentially result in a shift in volume homeostasis with potential intravascular volume depletion, hypotension, and acute kidney injury (AKI). This concern becomes heightened when initiating SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with acute HF or those with recent hospitalization for HF given their clinically tenuous status and concurrent use of high doses of loop diuretics.
