The article presents the results of the DAPA-HF study - evaluating the efficacy of dapagliflozin, used at a dose of 10 mg once a day, in addition to the standard treatment for patients with chronic heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, compared to placebo. An analysis of current clinical recommendations related to this issue was carried out, the results of recent clinical studies and metaanalyses conducted were highlighted. Based on the results of the study, the need is postulated to optimize drug therapy of this category to patients with persistent symptoms of heart failure, despite standard therapy, with the addition of dapagliflozin to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalizations for heart failure, improve the course of the disease.
