The Role of SGLT2 Inhibitors on Heart Failure Outcomes in Nondiabetic Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). However, studies examining their benefits exclusively in nondiabetic patients on various HF outcomes are limited. By conducting a MEDLINE and ClinicalTrials.gov search for randomized controlled trials, we identified 4 studies on SGLT2i with data on HF outcomes in nondiabetic patients and performed a meta-analysis. There were 10.638 nondiabetic patients, with 5316 patients in the SGLT2i group and 5322 in the placebo group included in this meta-analysis. The composite of worsening HF (hospitalization for HF or urgent visit for HF) or cardiovascular death had 726 events (13.66%) in the SGLT2i group and 907 (17.04%) in the placebo group, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.78 and 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.71-0.86 ( P < 0.0001). There were 551 events (10.36%) of hospitalization for HF in the SGLT2i group, compared with 751 (14.11%) in the placebo group with an HR of 0.71 (95% CI, 0.62-0.81; P < 0.0001). Cardiovascular death occurred in 396 patients (7.45%) in the SGLT2i group and 452 (8.49%) in the placebo group, with an HR of 0.88 (95% CI, 0.77-1.00; P = 0.059). All-cause mortality occurred in 552 patients (10.38%) in the SGLT2i group and 586 (11.01%) in the placebo group, with an HR of 0.95 (95% CI, 0.84-1.07; P = 0.37). This study showed that in patients with HF without diabetes mellitus, SGLT2i improve HF outcomes, including a significant decrease in hospitalizations for HF and a favorable response for the outcome of cardiovascular death.

Project description:Acute heart failure (AHF) is a major public health concern, affecting 26 million worldwide. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a class of glucose-lowering drugs, comprising canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and empagliflozin that are being explored for AHF. We aim to meta-analyze the effectiveness of SGLT2 inhibitors compared to placebo for primary outcomes including all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, heart failure events, symptomatic improvement, and readmissions. Our secondary outcome is the risk of serious adverse events. This meta-analysis has been designed in accordance with the PRISMA Statement 2020. A systematic search across PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library was conducted through August 13, 2022. The following keywords were utilized: sglt2, sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitors, sglt2 inhibitors, decompensated heart failure, de-novo heart failure, and/or acute heart failure. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with adult patients (>18 years), hospitalized with de-novo AHF, acutely decompensated chronic heart failure with reduced, borderline, or preserved ejection, and receiving SGLT2 inhibitors were included. A quantitative analytical methodology was applied where the standardized mean difference (SMD) applying 95% confidence intervals (CI) for continuous outcomes and risk ratio (RR) with 95% CI was yielded. All tests were carried out on Review Manager 5.4 (Cochrane). In total, three RCTs were included pooling in a total of 1831 patients where 49.9% received SGLT2 inhibitors. The mean age was 72.9 years in the interventional group compared to 70.6 years in the placebo. Only 33.7% of the sample was female. The follow-up spanned 2−9 months. Heart failure events were reduced by 62% in the interventional group (RR = 0.66, p < 0.0001). readmissions had a reduced risk of 24% with SGLT2 inhibitors (RR = 0.76, p = 0.03). We assessed the efficacy and safety of SGLT2 inhibitors in preventing complications post-AHF. The odds of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, heart failure events, and re-admissions rates were substantially reduced within the first 1−9 months of hospitalization.

Project description:BackgroundSodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown promise in improving cardiovascular outcome in patients with heart failure (HF) and diabetes mellitus (DM). Although these benefits have been confirmed by several meta-analyses, small studies have not been included into these pooled analyses.AimPublication of recent RCTs prompted us to perform this updated meta-analysis to examine the consistency of favorable cardiovascular outcomes of SGLT2 inhibitors in HF patients by inclusion of clinical trials with small sample size.MethodsWe conducted a systematic review of the literature in PubMed/Medline and ClinicalTrials.gov to identify all RCTs investigating the benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with HF. The primary endpoint of this meta-analysis was to compare the cardiovascular death (CVD) and hospitalization for HF (HHF) between patients who received an SGLT2 inhibitor and those who received a placebo or a non-SGLT2 inhibitor. We used a risk difference (RD) and log hazard ratio (HR) to pool the reported difference across the included RCTs.ResultsA total of 12 RCTs encompassing 59,825 patients at different stages of HF and DM were included, 32,448 patients in the SGLT2 inhibitor group and 27,377 patients in the control group. A pooled analysis of RCTs, regardless of HF severity or DM status, showed a significantly reduced RD for CVD (RD =-0.01, 95% CI [-0.01, 0.00], P=0.01) and HHF (RD =-0.02, 95% CI [-0.03, -0.01], P=0.0005) in patients who received a SGLT2 inhibitor compared to those who did not. A sub-group analysis showed a significantly reduced RD for CVD (RD =-0.01, 95% CI [-0.02, 0.00], P=0.03) and HHF (RD =-0.02, 95% CI [-0.03, 0.00], P=0.01) in patients with DM who received SGLT2 inhibitors regardless of the severity of HF. Also, regardless of DM status, RD for HHF favored the use of SGLT2 inhibitor than the control medication (RD =-0.05, 95% CI [-0.06, -0.03], P<0.00001).ConclusionSGLT2 inhibitors have shown a promise in reducing CVD and HHF in patients with HF, regardless of ejection fraction or diabetes status.

Project description:BackgroundSodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been shown to lower the risk of re-hospitalization and cardiovascular mortality among heart failure (HF) patients. Nevertheless, the impact of these agents on ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) has not been thoroughly investigated. To assess the beneficial impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on VAs in patients at various stages of HF, a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials involving SGLT2 inhibitors in this patient population was performed.MethodsA comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, Ovid, ProQuest, Scopus, and Cochrane databases was performed for clinical trials published up to November 21, 2024. The primary outcomes of interest were incidences of VAs and sudden cardiac death (SCD) between the groups receiving SGLT2 inhibitors and the control drugs. For the outcomes observed in the populations of the included trials and in specific subgroups, hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled and meta-analysed across the analyses.ResultsA total of 23 randomized trials (22 placebo-controlled trials and 1 active-controlled trial) involving 74,380 patients (37,372 receiving SGLT2 inhibitors and 37,008 in the control group) were included. The analysed SGLT2 inhibitors included canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, bexagliflozin, sotagliflozin, and ertugliflozin. The participants were non-advanced HF patients, including at-risk for HF, pre-HF, and symptomatic HF, with follow-up duration ranging from 12 to 296 weeks. Compared with the control, treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors was associated with significantly reduced risk of VAs (risk ratio (RR) 0.85, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.74-0.98; P = 0.02) and SCD (RR 0.79, 95% CI 0.64-0.98; P = 0.03). Subgroup analyses indicated that longer follow-up (≥ 1 year) taking SGLT2 inhibitors can still reduce the risk of VAs (RR 0.79, 95% CI 0.65-0.96; P = 0.02) and SCD (RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.65-0.99; P = 0.04).ConclusionSGLT2 inhibitors have beneficial effects on lowering risks of VAs and SCD in patients with type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF), with longer follow-up duration reinforcing these findings. However, future prospective trials are needed to verify the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on VAs and SCD.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO (CRD42024601914).

Project description:BackgroundIn patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and a history of heart failure (HF), sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have demonstrated cardiovascular (CV) benefits. However, the comparative efficacy of individual SGLT2is remains uncertain. This network meta-analysis (NMA) compared the efficacy and safety of five SGLT2is (canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, ertugliflozin, and sotagliflozin) on CV outcomes in these patients.Materials and methodsPubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched up to September 23, 2022, to identify all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SGLT2is to placebo in T2D patients with HF. The main outcomes included composite CV death/heart failure hospitalization (HFH), HFH, CV death, all-cause mortality, and adverse events. Pairwise and NMA approaches were applied.ResultsOur analysis included 11 RCTs with a total of 20,438 patients with T2D and HF. All SGLT2is significantly reduced HFH compared to standard of care (SoC) alone. "Add-on" SGLT2is, except ertugliflozin, significantly reduced composite CV death/HFH relative to SoC alone. Moreover, canagliflozin had lower composite CV death/HFH compared to dapagliflozin. Based on the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA), the top-ranked SGLT2is for reducing HFH were canagliflozin (95.5%), sotagliflozin (66.0%), and empagliflozin (57.2%). Head-to-head comparisons found no significant differences between individual SGLT2is in reducing CV death. "Add-on" SGLT2is reduced all-cause mortality compared with SoC alone, although only dapagliflozin was statistically significant. No SGLT2is were significantly associated with serious adverse events. A sensitivity analysis focusing on HF-specific trials found that dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, and sotagliflozin significantly reduced composite CV death/HFH, consistent with the main analysis. However, no significant differences were identified from their head-to-head comparisons in the NMA. The SUCRA indicated that sotagliflozin had the highest probability of reducing composite CV death/HFH (97.6%), followed by empagliflozin (58.4%) and dapagliflozin (44.0%).ConclusionSGLT2is significantly reduce the composite CV death/HFH outcome. Among them, canagliflozin may be considered the preferred treatment for patients with diabetes and a history of heart failure, but it may also be associated with an increased risk of any adverse events compared to other SGLT2is. However, a sensitivity analysis focusing on HF-specific trials identified sotagliflozin as the most likely agent to reduce CV death/HFH, followed by empagliflozin and dapagliflozin.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42022353754.

Project description:BackgroundA network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to explore the cardiovascular outcomes of all the kind and dosages of sodium-glucose cotransport-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.Method and resultThe Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Embase databases were systematically searched for studies to compare the therapeutic effects of different SGLT2 inhibitors in T2DM patients. The effect measurements estimate chosen were odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). Forty-seven RCTs involving a total of 70574 participants were eligible for direct and indirect comparisons. In direct comparison, treatment with dapagliflozin 5mg showed significantly lower risk of all-cause mortality compared with treatment with dapagliflozin 2.5mg (OR 0.09, 95% CI 0.01-0.70). According to NMA, interestingly, empagliflozin 10mg/25mg, and canagliflozin 100mg was associated with significantly lower risks of all-cause mortality compared with placebo (OR of 0.70, 95% CI 0.58-0.85; 0.69, 95% CI 0.57-0.84; and 0.83, 95% CI 0.73-0.95, respectively). Compared with placebo, dapagliflozin 10mg, empagliflozin 10mg and 25mg displayed the lower risks for cardiovascular events (OR 0.78, 95% CI 0.44-1.00; OR 0.47, 95% CI 0.22-0.93; and 0.43, 95% CI 0.24-0.74, respectively) by direct comparison. Moreover, canagliflozin 100/300mg showed significantly higher risks of cardiovascular events compared with empagliflozin 10mg (OR of 4.83, 95% CI 1.14-20.46 and 5.31, 95% CI 1.26-22.34, respectively) and empagliflozin 25mg (4.23, 95% CI 1.13-15.83 and 4.65, 95% CI 1.25-17.27, respectively) according to NMA. There were non-significant differences among all interventions in volume depletion in traditional pairwise meta-analysis. While in NMA, canagliflozin 100/300mg were associated with significantly increased risks of volume depletion compared with placebo (OR of 1.47, 95% CI 1.08-1.99 and 2.19, 95% CI 1.66-2.90, respectively).ConclusionIn the limitations of the NMA, this study showed that empagliflozin might be better than other SGLT2 inhibitors with low risks of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events in patients with T2DM suggesting the need for ad hoc RCTs.
