Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have a higher risk of heart failure (HF) than healthy people, and the prognosis of patients with diabetes and current or previous HF is worse than that of patients with only diabetes. We reviewed the HF outcomes in recently published cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) of three new classes of anti-diabetic agents, namely, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4is), glucagon-like-peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), and sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) or SGLT-2 and SGLT-1 dual inhibitors and divided the patients into two groups based on the history of HF (with or without) and analyzed their risks of HHF based on the receipt of the aforementioned anti-diabetes drug types. Since the follow-up period differed among the trials, we expressed the rate of HHF as events/1,000 person-years to describe the HF outcome. At last we pooled the data and analyzed their different effects and mechanisms on heart failure outcomes. Although DPP-4is did not increase the risk of HHF in T2D patients with a history of HF, they were associated with a significantly higher risk of HHF among patients without history of HF. Some GLP-1RAs reduced the risk of macrovascular events, but none of these drugs reduced the risk of HHF in patients with T2D irrespective of their HF history. It was not clarified whether SGLT-1/2is can improve the prognosis of macrovascular events in patients with T2D, but these drugs reduced the risk of HHF regardless of patients' histories of HF. This information may be useful or referential for the "precise" selection of hyperglycemic medications. Further researches still needed to clarify the mechanisms of these anti-diabetic medications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the EASEL study of patients with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk, initiation of sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) was associated with lower risk of cardiovascular events and mortality and higher risk of below-knee lower extremity (BKLE) amputation versus non-SGLT2i therapies. This analysis further examined risk of cardiovascular events, cardiovascular and noncardiovascular death and BKLE amputation with the SGLT2i canagliflozin versus non-SGLT2i. METHODS New user cohorts were constructed from Department of Defense Military Health System patients initiating canagliflozin or non-SGLT2i (4/1/2013-12/31/2016). Propensity score matching (1:1) controlled for imbalances in baseline covariates. Incidence rates, hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for time to first composite outcome of all-cause mortality (ACM) and hospitalization for heart failure (HHF), composite major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and individual components were evaluated using conditional Cox models. The National Death Index was used to differentiate cardiovascular from noncardiovascular death. The exploratory safety end-point was BKLE amputation. RESULTS After propensity matching, 15 394 patients with well-balanced baseline covariates were followed for a median of 2.03 years (intent-to-treat). Canagliflozin showed significant benefit for ACM and HHF (P < .0001), MACE (P = .0001), cardiovascular death (P < .0001) and noncardiovascular death (P = .0018). No significant difference in risk of BKLE amputation was observed (P = .20), though few events were observed. Results were generally consistent in on-treatment analyses. CONCLUSIONS In this high cardiovascular risk cohort studied in routine clinical practice, canagliflozin was associated with lower risk of cardiovascular events, cardiovascular death and all-cause mortality with no significant increase in BKLE amputation risk versus non-SGLT2i.

Abstract
After more than a decade of relatively modest advancements, heart failure therapeutic development has accelerated, with the PARADIGM-HF trial and the SHIFT trial demonstrated significant reductions in cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalization for sacubitril-valsartan and in heart failure hospitalization alone for ivabradine. Several heart failure therapies have since received or stand on the verge of market approval and promise substantive advances in the treatment of chronic heart failure. Some of these improve clinical outcomes, whereas others improve functional or patient-reported outcomes. In light of these rapid advances in the care of adults living with chronic heart failure, in this review we seek to update the general practitioner on novel heart failure therapies. Specifically, we will review recent data on the implementation of sacubitril-valsartan, treatment of functional mitral regurgitation, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor therapy, agents for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy, treatment of iron deficiency in heart failure, and the use of biomarkers or remote hemodynamic monitoring to guide heart failure therapy.

Abstract
Following regulatory guidance set forth in 2008 by the US Food and Drug Administration for new drugs for type 2 diabetes mellitus, many large randomized, controlled trials have been conducted with the primary goal of assessing the safety of antihyperglycemic medications on the primary end point of major adverse cardiovascular events, defined as cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke. Heart failure (HF) was not specifically mentioned in the US Food and Drug Administration guidance and therefore it was not a focus of these studies when planned. Several trials subsequently showed the impact of antihyperglycemic drugs on HF outcomes, which were not originally specified as the primary end point of the trials. The most impressive finding has been the substantial and consistent risk reduction in HF hospitalization seen across 4 trials of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors. However, to date, these results have not led to regulatory approval of any of these drugs for a HF indication or a recommendation for use by US HF guidelines. It is therefore important to explore to what extent persuasive treatment effects on nonprimary end points can be used to support regulatory claims and guideline recommendations. This topic was discussed by researchers, clinicians, industry sponsors, regulators, and representatives from professional societies, who convened on the US Food and Drug Administration campus on March 6, 2019. This report summarizes these discussions and the key takeaway messages from this meeting.

Abstract
Heart failure is a common complication among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and is associated with significantly increased risks of subsequent morbidity and mortality. Until recently, therapies and strategies were lacking to attenuate this excess risk of heart failure in this population. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors represent a unique class of glucose-lowering therapies that have multisystem health benefits. Three large cardiovascular outcomes trials have demonstrated consistent reductions in heart failure events among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with, or at risk for, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Another trial recently showed that an SGLT2 inhibitor, canagliflozin, also significantly reduced heart failure events among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and albuminuric chronic kidney disease. The SGLT2 inhibitor class represents an important new therapeutic approach for the prevention of heart failure in at-risk patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and is actively being studied for use in treating patients with heart failure (with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus). (Supplementary video "Preventing and Treating Heart Failure with Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2 Inhibitors" is available online.).

Abstract
The findings of recent clinical trials have shown that sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors produce effects beyond glucose lowering and have demonstrated beneficial cardiovascular effects that have been observed across a broad range of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In particular, the cardiovascular benefit results largely from substantial and early effects of SGLT2 inhibition on cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure. Recent cardiovascular outcomes trials (CVOTs) have also shown that relative risk reductions in cardiovascular outcomes were observed with SGLT2 inhibition both in patients with current and prior heart failure. Since the observed reductions of cardiovascular outcomes with SGLT2 inhibitor therapy were observed much earlier than would be expected by an anti-atherosclerotic effect, these results have led to speculation about the potential underlying pathways. Suggested mechanisms include natriuresis and osmotic diuresis; reductions in inflammation, oxidative stress, and arterial stiffness; reductions in blood pressure and body weight; and possible renoprotective effects. These effects could produce cardiovascular benefits through a range of cardiac effects, including reduction in left ventricular load, attenuation of cardiac fibrosis and inflammation, and improved myocardial energy production. Other possible mechanisms include inhibition of sodium-hydrogen exchange, increases in erythropoietin levels, and reduction in myocardial ischemia or reperfusion injury. It is likely that a range of mechanisms underlie the observed cardiovascular benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors; further elucidation of these mechanisms will be answered by ongoing research.

Abstract
Diabetes is one the most common comorbidities among people with established heart failure. Interest in heart failure as an outcome among people with diabetes has emerged since it was shown that there was an association between increased risk of hospitalization for heart failure with use of thiazolidinediones and some dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors. Recently, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors were shown to lead to a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure in people with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and either cardiovascular risk factors or atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. These findings appear to be consistent in people both with and without a baseline history of heart failure. Based on current evidence there are several clinical scenarios in which the use of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors would be justified for people with heart failure and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: (1) in people with a new diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes and for whom anti-hyperglycaemic management strategies are being considered; (2) in people with sub-optimal glycaemic control, regardless of baseline antihyperglycaemic therapy; and (3) in people with symptomatic heart failure (or other high-risk features such as recent hospitalization for heart failure), if glycaemic control is optimized and the individual is on a sulfonylurea or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor; here, it may be reasonable to consider substituting one of those therapies for a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor. There are now a number of ongoing trials evaluating the role of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors as therapy for people with established heart failure (with preserved or with reduced ejection fraction) and regardless of the presence of diabetes. These trials will provide the evidence for the safety and efficacy of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors among people with established heart failure.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) receptors are primarily located in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron. These receptors are responsible for almost 90% to 95% of tubular reabsorption of the glucose in the nephron. In patients with diabetes mellitus, due to upregulation of SGLT2 receptors, glucose reabsorption is further increased. The Food and Drug Administration approved SGLT2 inhibitors, such as canagliflozin, empagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and ertugliflozin, for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In addition to their positive effect on blood glucose, additional cardioprotective and renoprotective functions have been demonstrated in major trials such as EMPA-REG OUTCOME, CANVAS, DECLARE-TIMI-58, and CREDENCE. Unlike other antihyperglycemic drugs, reduction in hospitalization for heart failure (HF) was also seen as a class effect with this group, mechanisms of which are probably multifactorial. Subgroup analysis from these major trials indicated a reduction in progression of nephropathy and HF readmission with SGLT2 inhibitors. Although this unique property of canagliflozin was further analyzed in the CREDENCE trial, similar trials for empagliflozin (EMPERIAL-Reduced and EMPERIAL-Preserved) and dapagliflozin (DAPA-HF) are currently underway. Recently released phase III results from DAPA-HF trial indicate that dapagliflozin shows significant reduction in death due to cardiovascular causes and hospitalization in HF compared with the placebo, in both diabetics and nondiabetics. In this review article, the authors attempt to explore the possible underlying molecular mechanisms and data from existing trials pertaining to the HF related outcomes associated with SGLT2 inhibitors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOT) EMPA-REG OUTCOME, TECOS and SAVOR-TIMI 53, empagliflozin [sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor], sitagliptin and saxagliptin [both dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors] + standard of care (SoC) were compared to SoC in patients with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study assessed the cost-effectiveness (CE) of empagliflozin + SoC in comparison to sitagliptin + SoC and saxagliptin + SoC based on the respective CVOT. METHODS The IQVIA Core Diabetes Model (CDM) was calibrated to reproduce the CVOT outcomes. EMPA-REG OUTCOME baseline characteristics and CVOT specific treatment effects on risk factors for cardiovascular disease [glycated haemogloblin A1c (HbA1c), body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, lipids] were applied. Three-year observed cardiovascular events of empagliflozin + SoC versus sitagliptin + SoC and saxagliptin + SoC were derived from EMPA-REG OUTCOME and an indirect treatment comparison. Relative risk (RR) adjustments to calibrate the CDM were estimated after consecutive attempts of running the model until the observed and CDM-predicted outcomes matched closely. The drug-specific treatment effects were considered up until treatment switch (when HbA1c reached 8.5%), after which, the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) 82 risk equations predicted events based on co-existing risk factors and treatment intensification to basal-bolus insulin were applied. The analysis was conducted from the perspective of the UK National Health Service. Costs and quality of life data were derived from UK national sources and published literature. A 50-year time horizon and discount rate of 3.5% were applied. RESULTS The CDM projected quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) of 6.408, 5.917 and 5.704 and total costs of 50,801 GBP, 47,627 GBP and 48,071 GBP for empagliflozin + SoC, sitagliptin + SoC and saxagliptin + SoC, respectively. The incremental CE ratio (ICER) of empagliflozin + SoC versus sitagliptin + SoC and saxagliptin + SoC was 6464 GBP/QALY and 3878 GBP/QALY, respectively. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses demonstrated the robustness of the results. CONCLUSION Results suggest that empagliflozin + SoC is cost-effective compared to sitagliptin + SoC and saxagliptin + SoC at a willingness to pay threshold of 20,000 GBP/QALY.

Abstract
International differences in management/outcomes among patients with type 2 diabetes and heart failure (HF) are not well characterized. We sought to evaluate geographic variation in treatment and outcomes among these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: Among 14,671 participants in the Trial Evaluating Cardiovascular Outcomes with Sitagliptin (TECOS), those with HF at baseline and a documented ejection fraction (EF) (N = 1591; 10.8%) were categorized by enrollment region (North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and Asia Pacific). Cox models were used to examine the association between geographic region and the primary outcome of all-cause mortality (ACM) or hospitalization for HF (hHF) in addition to ACM alone. Analyses were stratified by those with EF <40% or EF ≥40%. The majority of participants with HF were enrolled in Eastern Europe (53%). Overall, 1,267 (79.6%) had EF ≥40%. β-Blocker (83%) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker (86%) use was high across all regions in patients with EF <40%. During a median follow-up of 2.9 years, Eastern European participants had lower rates of ACM/hHF compared with North Americans (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.45; 95% CI: 0.32-0.64). These differences were seen only in the EF ≥40% subgroup and not the EF <40% subgroup. ACM was similar among Eastern European and North American participants (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.44-1.45). CONCLUSIONS: Significant variation exists in the clinical features and outcomes of HF patients across regions in TECOS. Patients from Eastern Europe had lower risk-adjusted ACM/hHF than those in North America, driven by those with EF ≥40%. These data may inform the design of future international trials.

Abstract
There is a close physiological relationship between the kidneys and the heart. Cardiovascular diseases are the most prevalent cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), whereas CKD may directly accelerate the progression of cardiovascular diseases and is considered to be a cardiovascular risk factor. In patients with mild CKD, i.e. an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >60 ml/min/1.73 m2, treatment of coronary artery disease and chronic heart failure is not essentially different from patients with preserved renal function; however, as most pivotal trials have systematically excluded patients with advanced renal failure, many treatment recommendations in this patient group are based on observational studies, post hoc subgroup analyses and meta-analyses or pathophysiological considerations, which are not supported by controlled studies. Therefore, prospective randomized studies on the management of heart failure and coronary artery disease are needed, which should specifically focus on the growing number of patients with advanced renal functional impairment.

Abstract
Recent large placebo-controlled trials of sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors revealed desirable effects on heart failure (HF) and renal dysfunction; however, the mechanisms underlying these effects are unknown. The characteristic changes in the early stage of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) are myocardial and interstitial fibrosis, resulting in diastolic and subsequent systolic dysfunction, which leads to clinical HF. Pericytes are considered to play crucial roles in myocardial and interstitial fibrosis. In both DCM and diabetic retinopathy (DR), microaneurysm formation and a decrease in capillaries occur, triggered by pericyte loss. Furthermore, tubulointerstitial fibrosis develops in early diabetic nephropathy (DN), in which pericytes and mesangial cells are thought to play important roles. Previous reports indicate that pericytes and mesangial cells play key roles in the pathogenesis of DCM, DR and DN. SGLT2 is reported to be functionally expressed in pericytes and mesangial cells, and excessive glucose and Na+ entry through SGLT2 causes cellular dysfunction in a diabetic state. Since SGLT2 inhibitors can attenuate the high glucose-induced dysfunction of pericytes and mesangial cells, the desirable effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on HF and renal dysfunction might be explained by their direct actions on these cells in the heart and kidney microvasculature.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the most common forms of the disease worldwide. Hyperglycemia and insulin resistance play key roles in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Renal glucose reabsorption is an essential feature in glycaemic control. Kidneys filter 160 g of glucose daily in healthy subjects under euglycaemic conditions. The expanding epidemic of diabetes leads to a prevalence of diabetes-related cardiovascular disorders, in particular, heart failure and renal dysfunction. Cellular glucose uptake is a fundamental process for homeostasis, growth, and metabolism. In humans, three families of glucose transporters have been identified, including the glucose facilitators GLUTs, the sodium-glucose cotransporter SGLTs, and the recently identified SWEETs. Structures of the major isoforms of all three families were studied. Sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT2) provides most of the capacity for renal glucose reabsorption in the early proximal tubule. A number of cardiovascular outcome trials in patients with type 2 diabetes have been studied with SGLT2 inhibitors reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The current review article summarises these aspects and discusses possible mechanisms with SGLT2 inhibitors in protecting heart failure and renal dysfunction in diabetic patients. Through glucosuria, SGLT2 inhibitors reduce body weight and body fat, and shift substrate utilisation from carbohydrates to lipids and, possibly, ketone bodies. These pleiotropic effects of SGLT2 inhibitors are likely to have contributed to the results of the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial in which the SGLT2 inhibitor, empagliflozin, slowed down the progression of chronic kidney disease and reduced major adverse cardiovascular events in high-risk individuals with type 2 diabetes. This review discusses the role of SGLT2 in the physiology and pathophysiology of renal glucose reabsorption and outlines the unexpected logic of inhibiting SGLT2 in the diabetic kidney.

Abstract
Diabetes and heart failure (HF) independently contribute to significant cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Both are tremendous burdens to health-care systems. Among patients with established HF, diabetes mellitus is one of the most common comorbidities, present in up to 45% of all patients. Although atherosclerotic CV disease outcomes are thought to be the major cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with diabetes, HF death and hospitalization has been recognized as being just as common. However, despite this evidence, HF as an outcome among trials of glucose-lowering therapies has been largely ignored. Now, there are 3 noninferiority CV outcome trials that have demonstrated the efficacy of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors to reduce the risk of HF hospitalizations in patients with type 2 diabetes with CV risk factors and/or established atherosclerotic CV disease. The demonstration of a reduction in HF outcomes seen in these CV outcome trials represents a paradigm shift in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and atherosclerotic CV disease or CV risk factors. Whether SGLT-2 inhibitors represent a therapeutic strategy to reduce the risk of CV events among patients with established HF remains to be explored. Furthermore, the benefit of SGLT-2 inhibitors in a population of patients with HF yet without diabetes remains to be demonstrated across multiple trials. This review aims to highlight the clinical trial and real-world evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and established HF.

Abstract
CONTEXT Mechanisms mediating the cardiovascular and renal protection exerted by SGLT2 inhibitors are still partially unknown. We investigated whether dapagliflozin modulates systemic and renal vascular function and structure, and induces epigenetic modifications. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Forty hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes were randomly assigned to 4-week treatment with dapagliflozin 10 mg or hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) 12.5 mg. Routine analyses; plasma renin activity; aldosterone, catecholamine, and 24-hour urinary electrolyte levels; flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery; carotid-femoral pulse-wave velocity (PWV); augmentation index; and resistive index and dynamic renal resistive index (DRIN) were measured at baseline and after treatment. Circulating miRNAs (miRs) related to heart failure (miR30e-5p, miR199a-3p), endothelial dysfunction (miR27b and miR200b), and renal function (miR130b-3p, miR21-5p) were assessed and related to the effects of treatments. RESULTS Dapagliflozin and HCT marginally lowered blood pressure. Fasting glucose was lowered, whereas 24-hour diuresis, glycosuria, and osmolar clearance were increased by dapagliflozin (P < 0.001 for all), without affecting sodium excretion and glomerular filtration rate. Magnesium levels significantly increased after dapagliflozin treatment (P = 0.02). Neither dapagliflozin nor HCT modified FMD or PWV. DRIN did not vary in the dapagliflozin group, whereas it increased in the HCT group (P = 0.047 for time by treatment interaction). Both treatments induced variations in the expression of some miRs; dapagliflozin, but not HCT, significantly up-regulated miR30e-5p and downregulated miR199a-3p. CONCLUSION A putative epigenetic regulation of the protecting cardiovascular effect exerted by SGLT2 inhibitors was found. Dapagliflozin might exert nephroprotection by preserving renal vasodilating capacity.

Abstract
AIM The primary objective of this document is to develop practice-based expert group opinion on certain important but less discussed endocrine and metabolic effects of modern sulfonylureas (SUs) and their usage in the management of diabetes mellitus (DM). BACKGROUND Modern SUs may be considered a panacea in DM care with their beneficial extra-pancreatic, pleiotropic, and cardiovascular effects. Safe glycemic control with SUs could be achieved with appropriate patient selection, drug and dosage selection, and patient empowerment. Additionally, sulfonylureas also exhibit certain endocrine and metabolic effects, which could be considered beneficial in the management of DM. In this regard, a group of international clinical experts discussed the less known beneficial aspects of SUs and safe and smart prescription of modern SUs in DM care. RESULTS The concept of glucocrinology or the relationship of glycemia with the endocrine system was emphasized during the meetings. Clinical experts arrived at a consensus for the usage of modern SUs in the presence of other endocrine dysfunction and the impact of these drugs on endocrine health. The beneficial pleiotropic and cardiovascular effects of modern SUs were also discussed. The key discussion points were considered to develop clinical expert opinions for the use of modern SUs in persons with DM. Clinical expert opinions were developed for indications, pleiotropic benefits, cardiovascular outcomes, adherence, and safe use of modern SUs. CONCLUSIONS Appropriate clinical judgement coupled with a patient-centered approach is crucial to achieve the best outcome in persons with DM. Owing to their safety, efficacy, extra-pancreatic benefits including effects on endocrine and metabolic aspects, and low cost of therapy, modern SUs could be considered as drugs/agents of choice for the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
Recent evidence that some diabetes drugs can prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD) has profoundly modified the treatment approach to type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and almost all glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have been shown, beyond their effect on glucose control, to lead to a significant decrease in the cardiovascular burden of diabetes. Although these results are well known, the mechanisms of action by which they prevent cardiovascular events are still poorly understood. Both GLP-1RAs and SGLT2 inhibitors promote weight loss, although through different mechanisms. SGLT2 inhibitors promote glycosuria, leading to significant caloric deficit and weight loss. Similarly, GLP-1RAs, probably through an anorexic effect on certain brain areas, inhibit calorie intake, with ensuing weight loss. Although it features less prominently in current treatment pathways, pioglitazone has also demonstrated cardiovascular benefits. Pioglitazone profoundly modifies several mechanisms and risk factors responsible for CVD; however, these mechanisms certainly do not include weight loss. Obesity, and consequent insulin resistance, are well known risk factors for CVD, and it would appear logical to attribute the positive cardiovascular effects of these two classes of drugs to weight loss. The direct metabolic effects of these two classes, however, are profoundly different. The present review proposes a unifying hypothesis to explain the reduction in CVD through three different mechanisms of curbing free fatty acid excess, all leading to the common mechanism of cellular caloric restriction. If this hypothesis is correct, the excellent results obtained with SGLT2 inhibitors could be attributed to their close simulation of fasting.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with an increased risk of macro- and microvascular complications, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), heart failure (HF), and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Of the currently available glucose-lowering therapies, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) are the only class to target the pathophysiologic increase in renal glucose reabsorption in patients with T2D. In CV outcomes trials of SGLT-2is in patients with T2D and established CVD or varying levels of CV risk, empagliflozin, canagliflozin, and dapagliflozin were associated with significant improvements in the risk of composite CV and renal outcomes compared with placebo that extended beyond their glycemic effects. Real-world observational studies have also reported improvements in CV outcomes with SGLT-2is compared with other glucose-lowering therapy in routine clinical practice. This review describes the pleiotropic effects of SGLT-2is and discusses the potential mechanisms for these effects as well as how they potentially provide benefits beyond glycemic control in patients with T2D. These favorable nonglycemic effects indicate that SGLT-2is may be of particular benefit in patients with diabetic complications, such as CVD, HF, or CKD. Ongoing large randomized trials in specific patient populations, including those with CVD, HF, or CKD (with or without T2D), may help to confirm the benefits of SGLT-2is in these patients and further elucidate the potential mechanisms of their pleiotropic effects.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD), including heart failure (HF), is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). CVD and T2DM share common risk factors for development and progression, and there is significant overlap between the conditions in terms of worsening outcomes. In assessing the cardiovascular (CV) safety profiles of anti-diabetic drugs, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) therapies have emerged with robust evidence for reducing the risk of adverse CVD outcomes in people with T2DM who have either established CVD or are at risk of developing CVD. A previous consensus document from the Improving Diabetes Steering Committee has examined the potential role of SGLT2is in T2DM management and considered the risk-benefit profile of the class and the appropriate place for these medicines within the T2DM pathway. This paper builds on these findings and presents practical guidance for maximising the pleiotropic benefits of this class of medicines in people with T2DM in terms of reducing adverse CVD outcomes. The Improving Diabetes Steering Committee aims to offer evidence-based practical guidance for the use of SGLT2i therapies in people with T2DM stratified by CVD risk. This is of particular importance currently because some treatment guidelines have not been updated to reflect recent evidence from cardiovascular outcomes trials (CVOTs) and real-world studies that complement the CVOTs. The Improving Diabetes Steering Committee seeks to support healthcare professionals (HCPs) in appropriate treatment selection for people with T2DM who are at risk of developing or have established CVD and examines the role of SGLT2i therapy for these people.Funding: Napp Pharmaceuticals Limited.

Abstract
Background:
Three sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), canagliflozin, dapagliflozin and empagliflozin, successfully reduced hospitalization for heart failure (HF) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It remains unclear, however, whether the efficacy of the 3 SGLT2i for HF in T2DM patients is similar. Methods and Results:
Eighty-one T2DM patients hospitalized due to decompensated HF were enrolled. After treatment for HF, one of the 3 SGLT2i was non-randomly used, and clinical parameters for HF and T2DM were followed for 7 days. The attending physician was allowed to adjust the dose of furosemide. No differences were observed between the 3 groups in the increase of glycosuria, or in the decreases of body weight and blood pressure 7 days after SGLT2i (interaction P>0.05). Urine volume was similarly increased on day 1, and returned to the baseline on day 7 in each group. Decrease in B-type natriuretic peptide and increase in plasma renin activity were significant in each group. Plasma aldosterone concentration, however, was significantly increased in the empagliflozin and canagliflozin groups (P<0.01, respectively), but not in the dapagliflozin group. Additionally, plasma noradrenaline was significantly increased in the empagliflozin group (P<0.01), but not in the canagliflozin and dapagliflozin groups. Conclusions:
The neurohumoral responses to the 3 SGLT2i are different under similar volume correction in HF patients with T2DM.

Woo VC. Cardiovascular Effects of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes. Can J Diabetes 2019; 44:61-67. [PMID: 31839265 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcjd.2019.09.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2019] [Revised: 08/30/2019] [Accepted: 09/06/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus can benefit from pharmacotherapies that lower their risk for cardiovascular disease. This review describes the salient findings from sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor cardiovascular outcome trials that serendipitously revealed the cardiorenal benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus who either have established cardiovascular disease or multiple cardiovascular risk factors. It also summarizes the findings from other phase 3 clinical studies that measured the cardiovascular effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and real-world evidence reports that compared the cardiovascular impact of SGLT2 inhibitors with other antihyperglycemic agents. The collective data indicate that SGLT2 inhibitors are pleiotropic agents that offer important cardiovascular, metabolic and renal benefits beyond glucose lowering with low incidences of hypoglycemia. Specifically, the placebo-controlled SGLT2 inhibitor cardiovascular outcome trials documented either fewer major adverse cardiac events (nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke and cardiovascular death) or a reduction in the composite endpoint of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus and established cardiovascular disease. Amongst those with type 2 diabetes mellitus who did not have established cardiovascular disease but did present with multiple risk factors, SGLT2 inhibitors lowered the combined endpoint of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure but had little impact on the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events. Ongoing clinical trials and subanalyses of the trials that have been reported should shed further light on the clinical benefits and utility of SGLT2 inhibitors.

Evaluation of the effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibition with empagliflozin on morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction: rationale for and design of the EMPEROR-Preserved Trial. Eur J Heart Fail 2019; 21:1279-1287. [PMID: 31523904 DOI: 10.1002/ejhf.1596] [Citation(s) in RCA: 175] [Impact Index Per Article: 35.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2019] [Revised: 07/27/2019] [Accepted: 07/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The principal biological processes that characterize heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are systemic inflammation, epicardial adipose tissue accumulation, coronary microcirculatory rarefaction, myocardial fibrosis and vascular stiffness; the resulting impairment of left ventricular and aortic distensibility (especially when accompanied by impaired glomerular function and sodium retention) causes increases in cardiac filling pressures and exertional dyspnoea despite the relative preservation of left ventricular ejection fraction. Independently of their actions on blood glucose, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors exert a broad range of biological effects (including actions to inhibit cardiac inflammation and fibrosis, antagonize sodium retention and improve glomerular function) that can ameliorate the pathophysiological derangements in HFpEF. Such SGLT2 inhibitors exert favourable effects in experimental models of HFpEF and have been found in large-scale trials to reduce the risk for serious heart failure events in patients with type 2 diabetes, many of whom were retrospectively identified as having HFpEF. STUDY DESIGN The EMPEROR-Preserved Trial is enrolling ≈5750 patients with HFpEF (ejection fraction >40%), with and without type 2 diabetes, who are randomized to receive placebo or empagliflozin 10 mg/day, which is added to all appropriate treatments for HFpEF and co-morbidities. STUDY AIMS The primary endpoint is the time-to-first-event analysis of the combined risk for cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure. The trial will also evaluate the effects of empagliflozin on renal function, cardiovascular death, all-cause mortality and recurrent hospitalization events, and will assess a wide range of biomarkers that reflect important pathophysiological mechanisms that may drive the evolution of HFpEF. The EMPEROR-Preserved Trial is well positioned to determine if empagliflozin can have a meaningful impact on the course of HFpEF, a disorder for which there are currently few therapeutic options.

Abstract
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has published a series of guidelines on heart failure (HF) over the last 25 years, most recently in 2016. Given the amount of new information that has become available since then, the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the ESC recognized the need to review and summarise recent developments in a consensus document. Here we report from the HFA workshop that was held in January 2019 in Frankfurt, Germany. This expert consensus report is neither a guideline update nor a position statement, but rather a summary and consensus view in the form of consensus recommendations. The report describes how these guidance statements are supported by evidence, it makes some practical comments, and it highlights new research areas and how progress might change the clinical management of HF. We have avoided re-interpretation of information already considered in the 2016 ESC/HFA guidelines. Specific new recommendations have been made based on the evidence from major trials published since 2016, including sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes mellitus, MitraClip for functional mitral regurgitation, atrial fibrillation ablation in HF, tafamidis in cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis, rivaroxaban in HF, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in non-ischaemic HF, and telemedicine for HF. In addition, new trial evidence from smaller trials and updated meta-analyses have given us the chance to provide refined recommendations in selected other areas. Further, new trial evidence is due in many of these areas and others over the next 2 years, in time for the planned 2021 ESC guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure.

Abstract
Bexagliflozin is a C-aryl glucoside inhibitor of human sodium-glucose linked transporter 2 (SGLT2) that undergoes oxidation and glucuronidation to form six principal metabolites in humans.In vitro metabolism by human liver microsomes and recombinant enzymes is primarily mediated by CYP3A4 and UGT1A9. Three major oxidation products and three major glucuronides have been identified in vivo. Metabolism by rats is mostly by oxidation whereas metabolism by monkeys and humans is mostly by glucuronidation. Metabolism by monkeys closely resembles metabolism by humans and all metabolites found in humans are also found in monkeys. A greater diversity of metabolites has been identified among human in vivo specimens than among in vitro reaction products.Following oral dosing of humans with 14C-bexagliflozin, the 3'-O-glucuronide contributed 32% of the parent AUC and all other metabolites contributed <10%. Of the 91.6% of input radioactivity recovered, 51.1% was in faeces, predominantly as bexagliflozin, and 40.5% was in urine, largely as the 3'-O-glucuronide. Unidentified metabolites contributed 0.27% of the input radiolabel.A quantitative accounting for the metabolism and disposition of bexagliflozin in vivo has been developed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporters type 2 (SGLT-2) are a class of oral antidiabetic drugs with a novel specific mode of action in the kidneys. OBJECTIVE The effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors on cardiovascular (CV) and renal endpoints in outcome trials with type 2 diabetes patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Differential analysis and interpretation of the results of outcome trials with the SGLT-2 inhibitors empagliflozin, canagliflozin and dapagliflozin in type 2 diabetes mellitus. RESULTS In the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial, empagliflozin demonstrated a significant reduction in major cardiac adverse events (MACE), hospitalization for heart failure (HHI), renal endpoints, CV and total mortality vs. placebo in >7000 patients with type 2 diabetes and established CV disease over 3.1 years. In the CANVAS program, canagliflozin demonstrated a significant reduction of MACE, HHI and renal endpoints vs. placebo in >10,000 patients with type 2 diabetes and high CV risk over 2.4 years. In the CREDENCE trial, canagliflozin demonstrated a significant reduction of a combined renal endpoint and CV endpoints vs. placebo in >4000 patients with type 2 diabetes and established kidney disease with albuminuria over 2.6 years. In the DECLARE-TIMI 58 trial, dapagliflozin demonstrated a significant reduction in a combined endpoint of CV death and HHI vs. placebo in >17,000 patients with type 2 diabetes and established CV disease or with multiple CV risk factors over 3.1 years. CONCLUSION Outcome trials with SGLT-2 inhibitors have collectively demonstrated cardioprotective and nephroprotective effects in patients with type 2 diabetes and high CV risk. The use of SGLT-2 inhibitors is recommended in current guidelines and consensus statements as primary combination partners for metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes and established CV disease, high CV risk, heart failure or kidney disease.

Abstract
AIMS To compare loop diuretic use in patients with comorbid heart failure (HF) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) newly initiated on sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2Is) versus other oral anti-glycemic agents (AGAs). METHODS This analysis used 2013-2015 MarketScan Medicare Supplemental claims data. HF and T2D patients were identified and SGLT2I users were propensity score matched to other AGA users. The mean daily dose of loop diuretics in furosemide equivalents was ascertained. For those not on baseline loop diuretics, new use was compared between cohorts. For those on baseline loop diuretics, we assessed patterns of use (increased dose, decreased dose, stable dose, no longer using) at 12-months. RESULTS A total of 750 SGLT2I users were matched to 750 other AGA users. The distribution of loop diuretic use at mean doses of 0 mg (i.e., no use), ≤20 mg, >20 mg-40 mg, >40 mg-80 mg and >80 mg/day did not differ between cohorts at baseline or 12-months (p > 0.05 for both). SGLT2I use was associated with less new loop diuretic use (22.7% [79/348] vs. 34.0% [132/388]; p = 0.001). For those on loop diuretics at baseline (n = 764), patterns of use at 12-months did not differ between cohorts (p = 0.14). CONCLUSIONS New loop diuretic use was less frequent among SGLT2I users; however, patterns of loop diuretic use did not differ between cohorts in those on loop diuretics at baseline.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review will serve to highlight the clinical rationale used in the selection of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) or glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-ra). RECENT FINDINGS SGLT2-i and GLP1-ra are the first anti-hyperglycemics to demonstrate significant cardiovascular benefit in multiple cardiovascular outcomes trials (CVOTs), with benefits that are consistent across class of medication. Diabetes is a major risk factor for morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-ra) are the first anti-hyperglycemics to demonstrate significant cardiovascular benefit. Given the unique side effect and benefit profiles, appropriate consideration of these agents with a focus on cardiovascular risk reduction requires an individualized approach.

Abstract
Drugs that inhibit the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) have been shown to reduce the risk of hospitalizations for heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes. In populations that largely did not have heart failure at the time of enrolment, empagliflozin, canagliflozin and dapagliflozin decreased the risk of serious new-onset heart failure events by ≈30%. In addition, in the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial, empagliflozin reduced the risk of both pump failure and sudden deaths, the two most common modes of death among patients with heart failure. In none of the three trials could the benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors on heart failure be explained by the actions of these drugs as diuretics or anti-hyperglycaemic agents. These observations raise the possibility that SGLT2 inhibitors could reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with established heart failure, including those without diabetes. The EMPEROR-Reduced trial is enrolling ≈3600 patients with heart failure and a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (≤ 40%), half of whom are expected not to have diabetes. Patients are being randomized to placebo or empagliflozin 10 mg daily, which is added to all appropriate treatment with inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system and neprilysin, beta-blockers and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. The primary endpoint is the time-to-first event analysis of the combined risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure, but the trial will also evaluate the effects of empagliflozin on renal function, cardiovascular death, all-cause mortality, and recurrent hospitalization events. By adjusting eligibility based on natriuretic peptide levels to the baseline ejection fraction, the trial will preferentially enrol high-risk patients. A large proportion of the participants is expected to have an ejection fraction < 30%, and the estimated annual event rate is expected to be at least 15%. The EMPEROR-Reduced trial is well-positioned to determine if the addition of empagliflozin can add meaningfully to current approaches that have established benefits in the treatment of chronic heart failure with left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

Abstract
Background: Heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: This review discusses the significance of these comorbidities of T2D and current options for managing them, with a focus on sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors. Based on a focused literature search of cardiovascular outcomes trials (CVOTs), this review assessed the effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors in individuals with T2D with or without established cardiovascular disease (CVD). Results: In addition to effective glycemic control and weight loss, SGLT-2 inhibitor treatment of T2D prevents adverse cardiovascular and renal outcomes in individuals with and without these comorbidities. Reduced rate of hospitalization due to HF (HHF) and improved renal outcomes appear to be class effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors. Reduction in CV events may be more significant in individuals with established cardiovascular disease. Conclusions: CVOTs and other studies confirm that the SGLT-2 inhibitors, mostly used in combination with other glucose-lowering drugs, offer several clinical benefits beyond improved glycemic control. These include reducing HHF risk and improving renal outcomes. HF and renal benefits are observed in individuals with and without established CVD, which may simplify therapeutic selection. Ongoing SGLT-2 inhibitor CVOTs will help clarify the potential of these drugs to treat T2D comorbid with different forms of HF (HF with preserved vs reduced ejection fraction) and different degrees of renal dysfunction, and in individuals with T2D vs pre-diabetes or normal glucose metabolism.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many important clinical trials in cardiology were published or presented at major international meetings throughout 2018. This paper aims to offer a concise overview of these significant advances and to put them into clinical context. METHODS Trials presented at the major international cardiology meetings during 2018 were reviewed including The American College of Cardiology, EuroPCR, The European Society of Cardiology, PCR London Valves, Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics, and the American Heart Association. In addition to this a literature search identified several other publications eligible for inclusion based on their relevance to clinical cardiology, their potential impact on clinical practice and on future guidelines. RESULTS A total of 78 trials met the inclusion criteria. New interventional and structural data include trials examining novel stent designs (Biofreedom™, COMBO), use of drug-coated balloons in patients with high bleeding risk, intervention in stable coronary artery disease, revascularisation strategy in ST elevation myocardial infarction, transcatheter aortic valve replacement in low-risk patients, and percutaneous mitral or tricuspid valve interventions. Preventative cardiology data included the use of sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (empagliflozin, dapagliflozin, canagliflozin), proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors (alirocumab) and approaches of hypertension management. Antiplatelet data included trials evaluating both the optimal length of course and combination of antiplatelet agents. Heart failure data included trials of sacubitril-valsartan during acute hospital admission and the management of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity. Electrophysiology data included trials examining atrial fibrillation ablation, wearable cardiac defibrillators (LifeVest) and His-bundle pacing. CONCLUSION This article presents key clinical trials completed during 2018 and should be valuable to both cardiology clinicians and researchers.

Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) present an increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) complications. In addition to improvement in glycaemic control, glucose-lowering therapies, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter (SGLT)-2 inhibitors, have been shown to significantly reduce CV events. In 2008, the US Food and Drug Administration mandated that all new glucose-lowering drugs undergo CV outcomes trials (CVOTs) to determine their CV safety. These trials have largely demonstrated no major CV safety concerns. Most notably, the GLP-1RAs and SGLT-2 inhibitors have been found to be not only safe, but also cardioprotective compared to placebo. The SGLT-2 inhibitors have opened a new perspective for clinicians treating patients with T2D and established CV disease in light of their 'pleiotropic' effects, specifically on heart failure, while GLP-1RAs seem to present more favourable effects on atherosclerotic events. In this review, we discuss the role of GLP-1RAs and SGLT-2 inhibitors to reduce CV risk in T2D patients and suggest an individualized therapeutic approach in this population based on the presence of metabolic and CV comorbidities.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a risk factor of acute kidney injury after myocardial infarction (MI), a form of cardiorenal syndrome. Recent clinical trials have shown that a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor improved both cardiac and renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, but effects of an SGLT2 inhibitor on cardiorenal syndrome remain unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS Type 2 diabetes mellitus (Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty rats [OLETF]) and control (Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka rats [LETO]) were treated with canagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, for 2 weeks. Renal tissues were analyzed at 12 h after MI with or without preoperative fasting. RESULTS Canagliflozin reduced blood glucose levels in OLETF, and blood β-hydroxybutyrate levels were increased by canagliflozin only with fasting. MI increased neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and kidney injury molecule-1 protein levels in the kidney by 3.2- and 1.6-fold, respectively, in OLETF, but not in LETO. The renal messenger ribonucleic acid level of Toll-like receptor 4 was higher in OLETF than in LETO after MI, whereas messenger ribonucleic acid levels of cytokines/chemokines were not significantly different. Levels of lipid peroxides, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX)2 and NOX4 proteins after MI were significantly higher in OLETF than in LETO. Canagliflozin with pre-MI fasting suppressed MI-induced renal expression of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and kidney injury molecule-1 in OLETF, together with reductions in lipid peroxides and NOX proteins in the kidney. Blood β-hydroxybutyrate levels before MI were inversely correlated with neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin protein levels in OLETF. Pre-incubation with β-hydroxybutyrate attenuated angiotensin II-induced upregulation of NOX4 in NRK-52E cells. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that SGLT2 inhibitor treatment with a fasting period protects kidneys from MI-induced cardiorenal syndrome, possibly by β-hydroxybutyrate-mediated reduction of NOXs and oxidative stress, in type 2 diabetic rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) have higher in-hospital mortality than those without. Since cardiac and renal functions are the main variables associated with outcome in STEMI, we hypothesized that this prognostic disparity may depend on a higher rate of cardiac and renal dysfunction in DM patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 5,152 STEMI patients treated with primary angioplasty. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were evaluated at hospital admission. The primary end point was in-hospital mortality. A composite of in-hospital mortality, cardiogenic shock, and acute kidney injury was the secondary end point. RESULTS There were 879 patients (17%) with DM. The incidence of LVEF ≤40% (30% vs. 22%), eGFR ≤60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (27% vs. 18%), or both (12% vs. 6%) was higher (P < 0.001 for all comparisons) in DM patients. In-hospital mortality was higher in DM patients than in non-DM patients (6.1% vs. 3.5%; P = 0.002), with an unadjusted odds ratio (OR) of 1.81 (95% CI 1.31-2.49; P < 0.001). However, DM was no longer associated with an increased mortality risk after adjustment for cardiac and renal function (OR 1.03, 95% CI 0.68-1.56; P = 0.89). A similar behavior was observed for the secondary end point, with an unadjusted OR for DM of 1.52 (95% CI 1.25-1.85; P < 0.001) and an OR after adjustment for cardiac and renal function of 1.07 (95% CI 0.85-1.36; P = 0.53). CONCLUSIONS The study indicates that the increased in-hospital mortality and morbidity of DM patients with STEMI is mainly driven by their underlying cardio-renal dysfunction.

Abstract
AIM We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the effect of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), and sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) on heart failure (HF) risk in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS AND RESULTS The electronic search was carried out until 10 November 2018. RCTs were included if they compared add-on therapy with any DPP-4i, GLP-1 RAs, or SGLT-2i with placebo, and included in the outcome hospitalization for HF, and other outcomes required for cardiovascular safety studies. Risk of HF was the primary outcome for this meta-analysis. We used a random-effect model to calculate hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CI. Twelve trials were identified, involving 120,765 patients. Compared with placebo, HF risk showed a non-significant 10% reduction with the newer anti-hyperglycemic drugs (HR = 0.90, 0.80-1.01); use of DPP-4i and GLP-1 RAs was associated with nonsignificant modifications of the HF risk (+5% and -9%, respectively), while the use of SGLT-2i was associated with a significant 31% reduction of the HF risk (HR = 0.69, 0.61-0.79, P < 0.001), with no heterogeneity (I2 = 0%, P = 0.741), suggesting a class effect. The meta-regression analysis of all 12 trials showed no association of reductions of hemoglobin A1C with HF risk. CONCLUSION In T2D, SGLT-2i can reduce the risk of HF that is unrelated to improved glycemic control; DPP-4i and GLP-1 RAs behave as neutral.

Abstract
Background Data from recent cardiovascular outcome trials in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) suggest that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors can prevent development of heart failure (HF) and prolong life in patients without HF. Ongoing event-driven trials are investigating whether the same effect is present in patients with well-defined HF. The mechanism behind the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with T2D and the potential effect in patients with overt HF is presently unknown. Methods This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel group, clinical trial including HF patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF) with an ejection fraction ≤ 40% on optimal therapy recruited from specialized HF clinics in Denmark. The primary aim is to investigate the effect of the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin on N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). Secondary endpoints include cardiac biomarkers, function and hemodynamics, metabolic and renal parameters, daily activity level, and quality of life. Patients are assigned 1:1 to 90 days treatment with empagliflozin 10 mg daily or placebo. Patients with T2D are required to be on recommended doses of anti-glycemic therapy with a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of 6.5–10.0% (48–86 mmol/mol). To show a between-group difference in the change of NT-proBNP of 30%, a total of 189 patients will be included. Discussion The Empire HF trial will elucidate the effects and modes of action of empagliflozin in HFrEF patients with and without T2D and provide important mechanistic data which will complement ongoing event-driven trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of kidney failure worldwide, but few effective long-term treatments are available. In cardiovascular trials of inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), exploratory results have suggested that such drugs may improve renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS In this double-blind, randomized trial, we assigned patients with type 2 diabetes and albuminuric chronic kidney disease to receive canagliflozin, an oral SGLT2 inhibitor, at a dose of 100 mg daily or placebo. All the patients had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 30 to <90 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 of body-surface area and albuminuria (ratio of albumin [mg] to creatinine [g], >300 to 5000) and were treated with renin-angiotensin system blockade. The primary outcome was a composite of end-stage kidney disease (dialysis, transplantation, or a sustained estimated GFR of <15 ml per minute per 1.73 m2), a doubling of the serum creatinine level, or death from renal or cardiovascular causes. Prespecified secondary outcomes were tested hierarchically. RESULTS The trial was stopped early after a planned interim analysis on the recommendation of the data and safety monitoring committee. At that time, 4401 patients had undergone randomization, with a median follow-up of 2.62 years. The relative risk of the primary outcome was 30% lower in the canagliflozin group than in the placebo group, with event rates of 43.2 and 61.2 per 1000 patient-years, respectively (hazard ratio, 0.70; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.59 to 0.82; P = 0.00001). The relative risk of the renal-specific composite of end-stage kidney disease, a doubling of the creatinine level, or death from renal causes was lower by 34% (hazard ratio, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.53 to 0.81; P<0.001), and the relative risk of end-stage kidney disease was lower by 32% (hazard ratio, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.54 to 0.86; P = 0.002). The canagliflozin group also had a lower risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke (hazard ratio, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.67 to 0.95; P = 0.01) and hospitalization for heart failure (hazard ratio, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.80; P<0.001). There were no significant differences in rates of amputation or fracture. CONCLUSIONS In patients with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease, the risk of kidney failure and cardiovascular events was lower in the canagliflozin group than in the placebo group at a median follow-up of 2.62 years.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for incident heart failure and increases the risk of morbidity and mortality in patients with established disease. Secular trends in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and heart failure forecast a growing burden of disease and underscore the need for effective therapeutic strategies. Recent clinical trials have demonstrated the shared pathophysiology between diabetes mellitus and heart failure, the synergistic effect of managing both conditions, and the potential for diabetes mellitus therapies to modulate the risk of heart failure outcomes. This scientific statement on diabetes mellitus and heart failure summarizes the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and impact of diabetes mellitus and its control on outcomes in heart failure; reviews the approach to pharmacological therapy and lifestyle modification in patients with diabetes mellitus and heart failure; highlights the value of multidisciplinary interventions to improve clinical outcomes in this population; and outlines priorities for future research.

Abstract
Canagliflozin is a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that reduces blood glucose, as well as blood pressure, body weight, and albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In the CANagliflozin cardioVascular Assessment Study (CANVAS) Program, patients with T2DM and high cardiovascular risk treated with canagliflozin had a significantly lower risk of the composite outcome of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke; hospitalization for heart failure; and renal outcomes, but also a greater risk of lower-limb amputation. Cardiovascular outcomes trials of some other T2DM agents (i.e., empagliflozin, dapagliflozin, liraglutide, semaglutide, albiglutide) have also shown potential cardiovascular and renal benefits. As a result, diabetes treatment guidelines have begun to incorporate consideration of cardiovascular and renal benefits into their treatment recommendations. Antihyperglycemic agents with proven beneficial cardiovascular effects represent a new opportunity for the diabetologist and cardiologist, in the setting of a multidisciplinary approach, to concomitantly improve glycemic control and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with T2DM. This review briefly discusses the pharmacology of canagliflozin, including clinical and preclinical data; it also describes the effects of canagliflozin on cardiovascular outcomes and side-effects, and compares these effects with other glucose-lowering agents with proven cardiovascular benefits.

Abstract
Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the most common cause of mortality in patients with type2 diabetes (T2DM). In recent years, several glucose-lowering drugs from two therapeutic families, GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and sodium-glucose co-transporter type 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i), have shown a reduction in CV morbidity and mortality in patients with T2DM and high CV risk. SGLT-2i, unlike GLP-1 RAs, also reduce the risk of hospital admission due to heart failure. Both therapeutic groups reduce the progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). The cardioprotective mechanism of SGLT-2i appears to be predominantly haemodynamic and shows an early onset, while that of GLP-1 RAs is mostly anti-atherosclerotic with a slow and progressive onset. At present, several scientific societies recommend the preferential use of GLP-1 RAs and SGLT-2i, with demonstrated CV benefit in patients with T2DM and cardiovascular disease or DKD.

Abstract
An excess risk of heart failure (HF) persists in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) despite optimal control of an array of conventional risk factors, including hyperglycaemia. Twelve cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) have been published to date, although none, with the exception of the DECLARE trial with dapagliflozin, has included HF as a primary endpoint. The four trials with dipeptidyl-peptidase inhibitors (DPP-4i) (SAVOR-TIMI 53 with saxagliptin, EXAMINE with alogliptin, TECOS with sitagliptin and CARMELINA with linagliptin) failed to show any significant effect on HF risk in patients with T2D, with the notable exception of saxagliptin which was associated with a 27% increased risk. Five completed CVOTs with the GLP-1 RAs lixisenatide (ELIXA), liraglutide (LEADER), semaglutide (SUSTAIN-6), exenatide once weekly (EXSCEL) and albiglutide (HARMONY) also failed to reveal any significant effect on HF risk. The three trials with sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) (EMPA-REG OUTCOME with empagliflozin, CANVAS with canagliflozin and DECLARE with dapagliflozin) all revealed a robust and significant reduction in the hazard ratios of hospitalization for HF, from 27% to 35%, which remained consistent, significant and of similar magnitude regardless of the presence of a history of HF or established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. There is no association between reductions in HF risk and haemoglobin A1c (A1C) levels, while there is a significant association between reductions in HR for MACE and A1C levels (Spearman's correlation, r = 0.695; P = 0.013). All of the 12 CVOTs completed to date have provided reassurance of the overall cardiovascular safety of the newer anti-hyperglycaemic drugs. At present, the robust, consistent and reproducible reduction of approximately 30% in the risk of HF with SGLT-2i may be considered a class effect. The beneficial effect on MACE outcome observed with the use of some GLP-1RAs and SGLT-2i must be interpreted within the frame of the single trial.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate cardiovascular (CV) safety and event rates for dapagliflozin versus other glucose-lowering drugs (GLDs) in a real-world type 2 diabetes population after applying the main inclusion criteria and outcomes from the DECLARE-TIMI 58 study. METHODS Patients with new initiation of dapagliflozin and/or other GLDs were identified in Swedish nationwide healthcare registries for the period 2013 to 2016. Patients were included if they met the main DECLARE-TIMI 58 inclusion criteria: age ≥40 years and established CV disease or presence of multiple-risk factors, e.g. men aged ≥55 years and women aged ≥60 years with hypertension or dyslipidaemia. Propensity scores for the likelihood of dapagliflozin initiation were calculated, then 1:3 matching was carried out. DECLARE-TIMI 58 outcomes were hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) or CV-specific mortality, and major adverse CV events (MACE; CV-specific mortality, myocardial infarction, or stroke). Cox survival models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs). RESULTS After matching, a total of 28 408 new-users of dapagliflozin and/or other GLDs were identified, forming the population for the present study (henceforth referred to as the DECLARE-like cohort. The mean age of this cohort was 66 years, and 34% had established CV disease. Dapagliflozin was associated with 21% lower risk of HHF or CV mortality versus other GLDs (HR 0.79, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.69-0.92) and had no significant association with MACE (HR 0.90, 95% CI 0.79-1.03). HHF and CV mortality risks, separately, were lower at HR 0.79 (95% CI 0.67-0.93) and HR 0.75 (95% CI 0.57-0.97), respectively. Non-significant associations were seen for myocardial infarction and stroke: HR 0.91 (95% CI 0.74-1.11) and HR 1.06 (95% CI 0.87-1.30), respectively. CONCLUSION In a real-world population similar to those included in the DECLARE-TIMI 58 study, dapagliflozin was safe with regard to CV outcomes and resulted in lower event rates of HHF and CV mortality versus other GLDs.

Abstract
Heart failure is a common complication in patients with diabetes, and people with both conditions present a worse prognosis. Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2Is) increase urinary glucose excretion, improving glycaemic control. In type 2 diabetes (T2D), some SGLT2Is reduce major cardiovascular events, heart failure hospitalisations and worsening of kidney function independent of glycaemic control. Multiple mechanisms (haemodynamic, metabolic, hormonal and direct cardiac/renal effects) have been proposed to explain these cardiorenal benefits. SGLT2Is are generally well tolerated, but can produce rare serious adverse effects, and the benefit/risk ratio differs between SGLT2Is. This article analyses the mechanisms underlying the cardiorenal benefits and adverse effects of SGLT2Is in patients with T2D and heart failure and outlines some questions to be answered in the near future.

Abstract
The global burden of heart failure has continued to increase dramatically with 26 million people affected and an estimated health expenditure of $31 billion worldwide. Several practice-influencing studies were reported recently, bringing advances along many frontiers in heart failure, particularly heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. In this article, we discuss nine distinct therapeutic areas that were significantly influenced by this scientific progress. These distinct areas include the emergence of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, broadening the application of angiotensin-neprilysin inhibition, clinical considerations in therapy withdrawal in those patients with heart failure that 'recover' myocardial function, benefits of low-dose direct oral anticoagulants in sinus rhythm, targeted therapy for treating cardiac amyloidosis, usefulness of mitral valve repair in heart failure, the advent of newer left ventricular assist devices for advanced heart failure, the role of ablation in atrial fibrillation in heart failure, and finally the use of wearable defibrillators to address sudden death.
