Abstract
Background/aims To investigate the specific effects of s odium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) on cardiac energy metabolism. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted in eight databases. The retrieved studies were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and relevant information was extracted according to the purpose of the study. Two researchers independently screened the studies, extracted information, and assessed article quality. Results The results of the 34 included studies (including 10 clinical and 24 animal studies) showed that SGLT2i inhibited cardiac glucose uptake and glycolysis, but promoted fatty acid (FA) metabolism in most disease states. SGLT2i upregulated ketone metabolism, improved the structure and functions of myocardial mitochondria, alleviated oxidative stress of cardiomyocytes in all literatures. SGLT2i increased cardiac glucose oxidation in diabetes mellitus (DM) and cardiac FA metabolism in heart failure (HF). However, the regulatory effects of SGLT2i on cardiac FA metabolism in DM and cardiac glucose oxidation in HF varied with disease types, stages, and intervention duration of SGLT2i. Conclusion SGLT2i improved the efficiency of cardiac energy production by regulating FA, glucose and ketone metabolism, improving mitochondria structure and functions, and decreasing oxidative stress of cardiomyocytes under pathological conditions. Thus, SGLT2i is deemed to exert a benign regulatory effect on cardiac metabolic disorders in various diseases. Systematic review registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/, PROSPERO (CRD42023484295).

Effect of the interaction between the visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio and aldosterone on cardiac function in patients with primary aldosteronism. Hypertens Res 2023; 46:1132-1144. [PMID: 36754972 DOI: 10.1038/s41440-023-01170-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Revised: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 02/10/2023]
Abstract
Primary aldosteronism is the most frequent secondary hypertensive disease and is characterized by an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease. The current standard treatments are adrenalectomy and/or administration of mineralocorticoid receptor blockers, both of which are effective at ameliorating hypertension via intervention for hyperaldosteronism. However, both of these approaches have side effects and contraindications, and mineralocorticoid receptor blockers also have limited preventive efficacy against cardiovascular events. Recently, in vitro experiments have shown that aldosterone regulation is closely related to abdominal fat accumulation and that there is crosstalk between aldosterone and visceral fat tissue accumulation. We previously reported that this interaction was clinically significant in renal dysfunction; however, its effects on the heart remain unclear. Here, we analyzed data from 49 patients with primary aldosteronism and 29 patients with essential hypertension to examine the potential effect of the interaction between the ratio of visceral-to-subcutaneous fat tissue volume and the plasma aldosterone concentration on echocardiographic indices, including the tissue Doppler-derived E/e' ratio. A significant interaction was found in patients with primary aldosteronism (p < 0.05), indicating that patients with the combination of a high plasma aldosterone concentration and high visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio show an increased E/e' ratio, which is a well-known risk factor for future cardiovascular events. Our results confirm the clinical importance of the interaction between aldosterone and abdominal fat tissue, suggesting that an improvement in the visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio may be synergistically and complementarily effective in reducing the elevated risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with primary aldosteronism when combined with conventional therapies for reducing aldosterone activity. A significant effect of the interaction between plasma aldosterone concentration and the visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio on the tissue Doppler-derived E/e' ratio in patients with primary aldosteronism.

Abstract
While hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is commonly used to monitor therapy response in type 2 diabetes (T2D), GV is emerging as an essential additional metric for optimizing glycemic control. Our goal was to learn more about the impact of hypoglycemic agents on HbA1c levels and GV in patients with T2D. A systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) of randomized controlled trials were performed to assess the effects of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT)-2 inhibitors, dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors, sulfonylurea and thiazolidinediones on Mean Amplitude of Glycemic Excursions (MAGE) and HbA1c. Searches were performed using PubMed and EMBASE. A random-effect model was used in the NMA, and the surface under the cumulative ranking was used to rank comparisons. All studies were checked for quality according to their design and also for heterogeneity before inclusion in this NMA. The highest reduction in MAGE was achieved by GLP-1 RAs (SUCRA 0.83), followed by DPP-4 inhibitors (SUCRA: 0.72), and thiazolidinediones (SUCRA: 0.69). In terms of HbA1c reduction, GLP-1 RAs were the most effective (SUCRA 0.81), followed by DPP-4 inhibitors (SUCRA 0.72) and sulfonylurea (SUCRA 0.65). Our findings indicated that GLP-1 RAs have relatively high efficacy in terms of HbA1c and MAGE reduction when compared with other hypoglycemic agents and can thus have clinical application. Future studies with a larger sample size and appropriate subgroup analyses are warranted to completely understand the glycemic effects of these agents in various patients with T2D. The protocol for this systematic review was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42021256363).

Abstract
AIMS Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a leading cause of chronic liver disorders worldwide. Some hypoglycemic drugs can improve NAFLD. However, it is unclear which of these types of hypoglycemic drugs are more effective for NAFLD. Therefore, we conducted a network meta-analysis to determine the effect of thiazolidinediones (TZDs), sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists on NAFLD patients. METHODS A literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Medline was conducted, and the literature from database inception up to April 30, 2021 was obtained. Liver function tests, lipid profiles, body mass index (BMI) and glycemic parameters were obtained from randomized controlled trials. Weighted mean differences (WMDs), relative risks and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for continuous outcomes, and the I2 statistic was used to evaluate the heterogeneity of the studies. RESULTS In total, 22 trials, including 1361 patients, were selected. In direct meta-analysis, GLP-1 receptor agonists were superior to TZDs in decreasing alanine aminotransferase (WMD, -0.40, 95% CI: -0.60 to -0.20), γ-glutamyl transferase (WMD, -5.00, 95% CI: -6.47 to -3.53), BMI (WMD, -4.10, 95%CI: -6.55 to -1.65) and triglycerides (WMD, - 0.50, 95% CI: -0.68 to -0.32). Based on Bayesian network meta-analysis, the effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors on weight loss was superior to that of TZDs (WMD, -1.80, 95%CI: -3.30 to -0.41). CONCLUSIONS GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors improved liver enzymes, BMI, blood lipid, blood glucose and insulin resistance in NAFLD patients.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) often coexists with insulin resistance (IR), and the incidence of HF in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients is significantly higher. The reciprocal relationship between HF and IR has long been recognized, and the integration complicates the therapy of both. A number of mechanisms ascribe to the progression of cardiac IR, in which the main factors are the shift of myocardial substrate metabolism. Studies have found that SGLT2 inhibitors, an anti-diabetic drug, can improve the cardiac prognosis of patients with T2DM, which may be at least partially due to the relief of cardiac IR. Basic and clinical studies have revealed the important role of cardiac IR in the pathogenesis and progression of HF, and studies suggest that energy metabolism plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiac IR and HF. SGLT2 inhibitors mediated cardiovascular benefits through various mechanisms such as improving substrate utilization and improving myocardial energy. The regulation of SGLT2 inhibitors on cardiac energy status including carbohydrates, fatty acids (FA), amino acids and ketones, ATP transfer to the cytoplasm, and mitochondrial functional status have received extensive attention in HF, but its specific mechanism of action is still unclear. Therefore, this article reviews the relationship between IR and HF from the perspective of energy metabolism; subsequently, targeting energy metabolism discusses the pivotal role of SGLT2 inhibitors in improving cardiac IR and HF based on basic and clinical research evidences, and sought to clarify the molecular mechanism involved.

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
Diabetes mellitus and the associated complications represent a global burden on human health and economics. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in diabetic patients, who have a 2–5 times higher risk of developing heart failure than age-matched non-diabetic patients, independent of other comorbidities. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is defined as the presence of abnormal cardiac structure and performance in the absence of other cardiac risk factors, such coronary artery disease, hypertension, and significant valvular disease. Hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance mediate the pathological remodeling of the heart, characterized by left ventricle concentric hypertrophy and perivascular and interstitial fibrosis leading to diastolic dysfunction. A change in the metabolic status, impaired calcium homeostasis and energy production, increased inflammation and oxidative stress, as well as an accumulation of advanced glycation end products are among the mechanisms implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Despite a growing interest in the pathophysiology of diabetic cardiomyopathy, there are no specific guidelines for diagnosing patients or structuring a treatment strategy in clinical practice. Anti-hyperglycemic drugs are crucial in the management of diabetes by effectively reducing microvascular complications, preventing renal failure, retinopathy, and nerve damage. Interestingly, several drugs currently in use can improve cardiac health beyond their ability to control glycemia. GLP-1 receptor agonists and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors have been shown to have a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system through a direct effect on myocardium, beyond their ability to lower blood glucose levels. In recent years, great improvements have been made toward the possibility of modulating the expression of specific cardiac genes or non-coding RNAs in vivo for therapeutic purpose, opening up the possibility to regulate the expression of key players in the development/progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy. This review summarizes the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy, with particular focus on structural and molecular abnormalities occurring during its progression, as well as both current and potential future therapies.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major cause of heart failure in the Western world, either secondary to coronary artery disease or from a distinct entity known as "diabetic cardiomyopathy." Furthermore, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is emerging as a significant clinical problem for patients with DM. Current clinical data suggest that between 30% and 40% of patients with HFpEF suffer from DM. The typical structural phenotype of the HFpEF heart consists of endothelial dysfunction, increased interstitial and perivascular fibrosis, cardiomyocyte stiffness, and hypertrophy along with advanced glycation end products deposition. There is a myriad of mechanisms that result in the phenotypical HFpEF heart including impaired cardiac metabolism and substrate utilization, altered insulin signalling leading to protein kinase C activation, advanced glycated end products deposition, prosclerotic cytokine activation (eg, transforming growth factor-β activation), along with impaired nitric oxide production from the endothelium. Moreover, recent investigations have focused on the role of endothelial-myocyte interactions. Despite intense research, current therapeutic strategies have had little effect on improving morbidity and mortality in patients with DM and HFpEF. Possible explanations for this include a limited understanding of the role that direct cell-cell communication or indirect cell-cell paracrine signalling plays in the pathogenesis of DM and HFpEF. Additionally, integrins remain another important mediator of signals from the extracellular matrix to cells within the failing heart and might play a significant role in cell-cell cross-talk. In this review we discuss the characteristics and mechanisms of DM and HFpEF to stimulate potential future research for patients with this common, and morbid condition.

Abstract
Heart failure has mortality rates that parallel those of breast cancer. Current management strategies include neurohormonal blockade, rate control measures, natriuretic peptide preservation, implantation of mechanical assist devices, and heart transplantation. Despite these strategies, however, the failing myocardium remains energy depleted. New strategies to promote metabolic recovery are being developed to potentially augment current treatment guidelines. For example, an unexpected finding of our own studies showed that mechanical unloading with assist devices in advanced-stage heart failure restored metabolic flux. Unfortunately, at that point it is too late for myocardial recovery. Traditional metabolic therapies addressing hyperglycemia have had limited long-term outcome benefit. Now, new therapeutic options are emerging based on increased understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying energy depletion. Metabolic cardiac imaging combined with laboratory diagnostics could guide the design of individual therapeutic strategies. To date, agents that show benefit in select individuals include mimetics that stimulate glucagon-like peptide-1, inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporter receptors, drugs that limit fatty acid oxidation, and hormonal therapy in select individuals. This review will summarize mechanisms and investigations related to these metabolic approaches to heart failure.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are both growing public health concerns contributing to major medical and economic burdens to society. T2DM increases the risk of HF, frequently occurs concomitantly with HF, and worsens the prognosis of HF. Several anti-hyperglycaemic medications have been associated with a concern for worse HF outcomes. More recently, the results of the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial showed that the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor empagliflozin was associated with a pronounced and precocious 38% reduction in cardiovascular mortality in subjects with T2DM and established cardiovascular disease [Correction added on 8 September 2017, after first online publication: "32%" in the previous sentence was corrected to "38%"]. These benefits were more related to a reduction in incident HF events rather than to ischaemic vascular endpoints. Several mechanisms have been put forward to explain these benefits, which also raise the possibility of using these drugs as therapies not only in the prevention of HF, but also for the treatment of patients with established HF regardless of the presence or absence of diabetes. Several large trials are currently exploring this postulate.

Abstract
There are few proven therapies for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The lack of therapies, along with increased recognition of the disorder and its underlying pathophysiology, has led to the acknowledgement that HFpEF is heterogeneous and is not likely to respond to a one-size-fits-all approach. Thus, HFpEF is a prime candidate to benefit from a precision medicine approach. For this reason, we have assembled a compendium of papers on the topic of precision medicine in HFpEF in the Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research. These papers cover a variety of topics relevant to precision medicine in HFpEF, including automated identification of HFpEF patients; machine learning, novel molecular approaches, genomics, and deep phenotyping of HFpEF; and clinical trial designs that can be used to advance precision medicine in HFpEF. In this introductory article, we provide an overview of precision medicine in HFpEF with the hope that the work described here and in the other papers in this special theme issue will stimulate investigators and clinicians to advance a more targeted approach to HFpEF classification and treatment.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease remains the principal cause of death and disability among patients with diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus exacerbates mechanisms underlying atherosclerosis and heart failure. Unfortunately, these mechanisms are not adequately modulated by therapeutic strategies focusing solely on optimal glycemic control with currently available drugs or approaches. In the setting of multifactorial risk reduction with statins and other lipid-lowering agents, antihypertensive therapies, and antihyperglycemic treatment strategies, cardiovascular complication rates are falling, yet remain higher for patients with diabetes mellitus than for those without. This review considers the mechanisms, history, controversies, new pharmacological agents, and recent evidence for current guidelines for cardiovascular management in the patient with diabetes mellitus to support evidence-based care in the patient with diabetes mellitus and heart disease outside of the acute care setting.

Heart Failure Considerations of Antihyperglycemic Medications for Type 2 Diabetes. Circ Res 2016; 118:1830-43. [DOI: 10.1161/circresaha.116.306924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 49] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2016] [Accepted: 03/30/2016] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Prevalent and incident heart failure (HF) is increased in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with risk directly associated with the severity of hyperglycemia. Furthermore, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, mortality is increased ≈10-fold in patients with versus without HF. Reducing HF with antihyperglycemic therapies, however, has been unsuccessful until recently. In fact, HF as an important outcome in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus seems to be heterogeneously modulated by antihyperglycemic medications, as evidenced by results from cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) and large observational cohort studies. Appropriately powered and executed CVOTs are necessary to truly evaluate cardiovascular safety and efficacy of new antihyperglycemic medications, as reflected by the guidance of the US Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory agencies since 2008. In light of the best available evidence at present, metformin and the sodium-glucose-co-transporter 2-inhibitor empagliflozin seem to be especially advantageous with regard to HF effects, with their use associated with reduced HF events and improved mortality. Acarbose, the dipeptidyl-peptidase 4-inhibitor sitagliptin, the glucagon-like peptide 1-receptor agonist lixisenatide based on presently available CVOT results comprise reasonable additional options, as significant harm in terms of HF has been excluded for those drugs. Additions to this list are anticipated pending results of ongoing CVOTs. Although no HF harm was seen in CVOTs for insulin or sulfonylureas, they should be used only with caution in patients with HF, given their established high risk for hypoglycemia and some uncertainties on their safety in patients with HF derived from epidemiological observations. Pioglitazone is contraindicated in patients with HF>New York Heart Association I, despite some benefits suggested by CVOT subanalyses.
