Heart Failure With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Association Between Antihyperglycemic Agents, Glycemic Control, and Ejection Fraction

Conclusion: Our findings reported metformin as the most commonly prescribed antihyperglycemic agent, sodium glucose linked transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor being under-prescribed, and detected poorly controlled diabetes in majority of patients with T2DM and HF. Understanding the prescribing pattern of antihyperglycemic agents supports the implementation of evidence-based treatment in HF patients with T2DM to improve patients' outcomes.
