Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to assess the association between SGLT2 inhibitors and AF risk by systematically searching PubMed, Embase, and ClinicalTrials.gov. Two investigators independently identified randomized controlled trials, which compared SGLT2 inhibitors with control in patients with type 2 diabetes, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease. Primary outcomes were incident AF and stroke. We included 20 randomized trials involving 63,604 patients. The SGLT2 inhibitors used were dapagliflozin (7 studies, 28,834 paJournal of cardiovascular pharmacologye145-e152https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8895972biostudies-literatureAssociation of SGLT2 Inhibitors With Risk of Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke in Patients With and Without Type 2 Diabetes: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.PMC8895972Zheng RJTang JNZhang JYYuan MYDuan JYWang YfalseAssociation of SGLT2 Inhibitors With Risk of Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke in Patients With and Without Type 2 Diabetes: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.<h4>Abstract</h4>Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have well-documented effects on reducing hospitalization for heart failure and cardiovascular mortality, although the effect on atrial fibrillation (AF) has not been comprehensively investigated.
