Project description:AimsWe aimed to examine efficacy and safety outcomes of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) for the treatment of heart failure (HF), especially in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).Methods and resultsPubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched to identify randomized controlled trials comparing SGLT2i vs. placebo in HF patients. A total of 10 studies with 23 852 HF patients were eventually included. Compared with placebo, SGLT2i is associated with a lower incidence of composite of first hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) or cardiovascular death (CV death) [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.76 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.71-0.81], which is consistent regardless of the diabetes status, type of gliflozines used, and follow-up duration. SGLT2i can reduce the risk of total HHF or CV death (HR = 0.74, 95%CI = 0.68-0.81), first HHF (HR = 0.69, 95%CI = 0.64-0.75), CV death (HR = 0.88, 95%CI = 0.80-0.96), any death (HR = 0.90, 95%CI = 0.83-0.97), and any serious events (HR = 0.90, 95%CI = 0.87-0.93) in HF patients, at the cost of increased risk of urinary tract infections (risk ratio = 1.17, 95%CI = 1.03-1.33). In HFpEF patients, SGLT2i is associated with a significant reduction of composite of first HHF or CV death (HR = 0.81, 95%CI = 0.73-0.91), first HHF (HR = 0.71, 95%CI = 0.62-0.82), and total HHF or CV death (HR = 0.61, 95%CI = 0.43-0.86).ConclusionsSodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor contributed to better efficacy outcomes in overall HF patients and showed an inspiring breakthrough in the treatment of HFpEF.

Project description:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and heart failure (HF) are multifactorial diseases sharing common risk factors, such as obesity, hyperinsulinemia, and inflammation, with underlying mechanisms including endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic alterations. Cardiovascular benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors observed in diabetic and non-diabetic patients are also related to their cardiac-specific, SGLT-independent mechanisms, in addition to the metabolic and hemodynamic effects. In search of the possible underlying mechanisms, a research campaign has been launched proposing varied mechanisms of action that include intracellular ion homeostasis, autophagy, cell death, and inflammatory processes. Moreover, the research focus was widened toward cellular targets other than cardiomyocytes. At the moment, intracellular sodium level reduction is the most explored mechanism of direct cardiac effects of SGLT2 inhibitors that mediate the benefits in heart failure in addition to glucose excretion and diuresis. The restoration of cardiac Na+ levels with consequent positive effects on Ca2+ handling can directly translate into improved contractility and relaxation of cardiomyocytes and have antiarrhythmic effects. In this review, we summarize clinical trials, studies on human cells, and animal models, that provide a vast array of data in support of repurposing this class of antidiabetic drugs.

Project description:Diabetes and heart failure (HF) are closely linked, with one causing a worse prognosis in the other. The majority of anti-hyperglycaemic agents primarily reduce risk of ischaemic microvascular events without targeting the mechanisms involved for diabetes cardiomyopathy and HF. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have emerged as a novel class of glucose-lowering agents that have consistently reduced HF hospitalisations, unlike other agents. The authors discuss the current evidence and highlight possible future directions for the role of SGLT2 inhibitors in HF prevention.

Project description:ImportanceEmerging evidence has consistently demonstrated that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce the risk of heart failure (HF) hospitalization and cardiovascular (CV) death among patients with HF. However, it remains unclear how long a patient needs to live to potentially benefit from SGLT2 inhibitors in this population.ObjectivesTo estimate the time to benefit from SGLT2 inhibitors among patients with HF.Design, setting, and participantsThis comparative effectiveness study systematically searched PubMed for completed randomized clinical trials about SGLT2 inhibitors and patients with HF published until September 5, 2022; 5 trials with the year of publication ranging from 2019 to 2022 were eventually included. Statistical analysis was performed from April to October 2022.InterventionAddition of SGLT2 inhibitors or placebo to guideline-recommended therapy.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was the time to first event of CV death or worsening HF, which was broadly comparable across the included trials.ResultsFive trials consisting of 21 947 patients with HF (7837 [35.7%] were female; mean or median age older than 65 years within each trial) were included. SGLT2 inhibitors significantly reduced the risk of worsening HF or CV death (hazard ratio [HR], 0.77 [95% CI, 0.73-0.82]). Time to first nominal statistical significance (P < .05) was 26 days (0.86 months), and statistical significance was sustained from day 118 (3.93 months) onwards. A mean of 0.19 (95% CI, 0.12-0.35) months were needed to prevent 1 worsening HF or CV death per 500 patients with SGLT2 inhibitors (absolute risk reduction [ARR], 0.002). Likewise, 0.66 (95% CI, 0.43-1.13) months was estimated to avoid 1 event per 200 patients with SGLT2 inhibitors (ARR, 0.005), 1.74 (95% CI, 1.07-2.61) months to avoid 1 event per 100 patients (ARR, 0.010), and 4.96 (95% CI, 3.18-7.26) months to avoid 1 event per 50 patients (ARR, 0.020). Further analyses indicated a shorter time to benefit for HF hospitalization and among patients with diabetes or HF with reduced ejection fraction.Conclusions and relevanceIn this comparative effectiveness research study of estimating the time to benefit from SGLT2 inhibitors among patients with HF, a rapid clinical benefit in reducing CV death or worsening HF was found, suggesting that their use may be beneficial for most individuals with HF.

Project description:Background and aimsClinical comparisons of angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) treatment in patients with HFrEF and T2DM are limited. This study evaluated the clinical outcomes and treatment benefits of SGLT2i versus ARNI treatment in patients with HFrEF and T2DM in a large real-world data set.MethodsWe identified 1487 patients with HFrEF and T2DM who were undergoing ARNI or SGLT2i treatment for the first time (n = 647 and 840, respectively) between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2021, and with clinical outcomes of CV death, hospitalization for heart failure (HHF), composite CV outcomes, or renal outcomes.ResultsThe HHF risk reduction conferred by SGLT2i treatment was more significant than that conferred by ARNI treatment (37.7% vs. 30.4%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06-1.41). SGLT2i use conferred significantly greater renal protection against the doubling of serum creatinine (13.1% vs. 9.3%; 95% CI 1.05-1.75), an estimated glomerular filtration rate decline of > 50% (24.9% vs. 20.0%; 95% CI 1.02-1.45), and progression to end-stage renal disease (3.1% vs. 1.5%; 95% CI 1.62-5.23). The improvements in echocardiographic parameters were comparable between the groups.ConclusionsCompared with ARNI treatment, SGLT2i treatment was associated with a more significant HHF risk reduction and greater preservation of renal function in patients with HFrEF and T2DM. This study also supports the prioritization of SGLT2i use in these patients when patients' conditions or economic resources need to be considered.

Project description:BackgroundSodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are increasingly recognized for their role in reducing the risk and improving the prognosis of heart failure (HF). However, the precise mechanisms involved remain to be fully delineated. Evidence points to their potential anti-inflammatory pathway in mitigating the risk of HF.MethodsA two-sample, two-step Mendelian Randomization (MR) approach was employed to assess the correlation between SGLT-2 inhibition and HF, along with the mediating effects of inflammatory biomarkers in this relationship. MR is an analytical methodology that leverages single nucleotide polymorphisms as instrumental variables to infer potential causal inferences between exposures and outcomes within observational data frameworks. Genetic variants correlated with the expression of the SLC5A2 gene and glycated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c) were selected using datasets from the Genotype-Tissue Expression project and the eQTLGen consortium. The Genome-wide association study (GWAS) data for 92 inflammatory biomarkers were obtained from two datasets, which included 14,824 and 575,531 individuals of European ancestry, respectively. GWAS data for HF was derived from a meta-analysis that combined 26 cohorts, including 47,309 HF cases and 930,014 controls. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for HF were calculated per 1 unit change of HbA1c.ResultsGenetically predicted SGLT-2 inhibition was associated with a reduced risk of HF (OR 0.42 [95% CI 0.30-0.59], P < 0.0001). Of the 92 inflammatory biomarkers studied, two inflammatory biomarkers (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 [CXCL10] and leukemia inhibitory factor) were associated with both SGLT-2 inhibition and HF. Multivariable MR analysis revealed that CXCL10 was the primary inflammatory cytokine related to HF (MIP = 0.861, MACE = 0.224, FDR-adjusted P = 0.0844). The effect of SGLT-2 inhibition on HF was mediated by CXCL10 by 17.85% of the total effect (95% CI [3.03%-32.68%], P = 0.0183).ConclusionsThis study provides genetic evidence supporting the anti-inflammatory effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors and their beneficial impact in reducing the risk of HF. CXCL10 emerged as a potential mediator, offering a novel intervention pathway for HF treatment.

Project description:Patients with type 2 diabetes are at increased risk of developing heart failure, cardiovascular death and renal failure. The recent results of three large sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor cardiovascular outcomes trials have demonstrated a reduction in heart failure hospitalisation and progressive renal failure. One trial also showed a fall in cardiovascular and total death. A broad spectrum of patients with diabetes benefit from these salutary effects in cardiac and renal function and so these trials have important implications for the management of patients with type 2 diabetes. Selected glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists have also been shown to reduce adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

Project description:ObjectivesSodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) reduce heart failure (HF) in at-risk patients and may possess antitumour effects. We examined the effect of SGLT2i on HF and mortality among patients with cancer and diabetes.MethodsThis was a retrospective propensity score-matched cohort study involving adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosed with cancer between January 2010 and December 2021. The primary outcomes were hospitalisation for incident HF and all-cause mortality. The secondary outcomes were serious adverse events associated with SGLT2i.ResultsFrom a total of 8640 patients, 878 SGLT2i recipients were matched to non-recipients. During a median follow-up of 18.8 months, SGLT2i recipients had a threefold lower rate of hospitalisation for incident HF compared with non-SGLT2i recipients (2.92 vs 8.95 per 1000 patient-years, p=0.018). In Cox regression and competing regression models, SGLT2i were associated with a 72% reduction in the risk of hospitalisation for HF (HR 0.28 (95% CI: 0.11 to 0.77), p=0.013; subdistribution HR 0.32 (95% CI: 0.12 to 0.84), p=0.021). The use of SGLT2i was also associated with a higher overall survival (85.3% vs 63.0% at 2 years, p<0.001). The risk of serious adverse events such as hypoglycaemia and sepsis was similar between the two groups.ConclusionsThe use of SGLT2i was associated with a lower rate of incident HF and prolonged overall survival in patients with cancer with diabetes mellitus.
