Preventive Effect Observation of Dapagliflozin on Middle and Later Ventricular Remodeling in Patients with Acute ST Segment Elevation Anterior Wall Myocardial Infarction: A Single-Center, Retrospective Cohort Study

SGLT2 inhibitor improves the prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease and prevents in-stent restenosis

Coronary heart disease is a narrowing or obstruction of the vascular cavity caused by atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries, which leads to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. At present, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an effective treatment for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Restenosis is the main limiting factor of the long-term success of PCI, and it is also a difficult problem in the field of intervention. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor is a new oral glucose-lowering agent used in the treatment of diabetes in recent years. Recent studies have shown that SGLT2 inhibitors can effectively improve the prognosis of patients after PCI and reduce the occurrence of restenosis. This review provides an overview of the clinical studies and mechanisms of SGLT2 inhibitors in the prevention of restenosis, providing a new option for improving the clinical prognosis of patients after PCI.

Effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter protein-2 inhibitors on left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis

OBJECTIVE

This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to compare the effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter protein-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) and placebo on left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with type 2 diabetes.

METHOD

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the LVH parameters of SGLT-2i to placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes were included. Our primary outcomes were the changes in left ventricular mass (LVM) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) from baseline to the study endpoint. Secondary outcomes were the changes in left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and the ratio of early mitral inflow velocity to atrial inflow velocity (E/A). Summary odds ratios were estimated using a fixed-effect or random-effect model.

RESULTS

A total of 11 articles were included. Data were extracted from 11 original studies matching our inclusion criteria. In our meta-analysis, there were significant improvement in LVM (SMD -0.23, 95% CI -0.44 to -0.02, I ² = 22.6%, p = 0.034), LVMI (SMD -0.25, 95% CI -0.38 to -0.12, I ² = 0.0%, p = 0.000), LVEDV (SMD -0.19, 95% CI -0.36 to -0.01, I ² = 62.3%, p = 0.035), and LVESV (SMD -0.21, 95% CI -0.39 to -0.04, I ² = 32.9%, p = 0.017) in the SGLT-2i group compared with the placebo group. Furthermore, no significant differences were found in LVEF (SMD 0.13, 95% CI 0.00 to 0.26, I ² = 0.0%, p = 0.050) and E/A (SMD -0.01, 95% CI -0.22 to 0.20, I ² = 0%, p = 0.908) between the two groups.

CONCLUSIONS

This meta-analysis confirmed the beneficial effects of SGLT-2i on reversal of left ventricular remodeling. The LVH regression was more pronounced in studies of type 2 diabetes patients receiving SGLT-2i than placebo.
