Effects of Sodium Glucose Co-Transporter 2 Inhibitors on Atrial Fibrillation Recurrences After Catheter Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have demonstrated a reduction in heart failure (HF) hospitalizations in HF patients and decreased recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF), including in those who have undergone catheter ablation (CA). The effects of SGLT2i are likely due to suppression of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, reduction in oxidative stress with subsequent improvement in myocardial efficiency, and attenuation of cardiac remodeling. We aim to present the effects of SGLT2i on AF recurrence in patients who have undergone CA for AF. Methods: This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and retrospective studies evaluating the effect of SGLT2i on AF recurrence following CA compared
