Abstract
Introduction Advanced heart failure (HF) is an epidemic that affects multiple organ systems with high morbidity and mortality rates despite optimal medical therapy (OMT) and remains the leading cause of hospitalizations in type 2 diabetes-related cardiovascular disease. The addition of sodium-glucose co-transporter inhibitors (SGLT2i) in treating these patients has seen improved mortality and hospital admission rates. As such, we felt it was important to investigate whether the use of SGLT2i improved functional capacity in patients with HF when compared to OMT by evaluating maximum oxygen consumption (peak VO2) using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Methods We found 94 heart failure patients between August 2020 and August 2021 who underwent CPET before and after treatment at Mayo Clinic in Florida. 50 patients received OMT and 44 received OMT and SGLT2i therapy. CPET results before and after were compared for each group. Results The baseline ejection fraction was not significantly different between groups, with the OMT group at 38% and the SGLT2i group at 33%, p = 0.10. OMT patients were found to have a significantly lower hemoglobin A1c of 5.7 (5.4-6.1) compared to those with SGLT2i therapy of 6.4 (5.8-7.1), p = 0.01. The baseline peak VO2 was 17.3 ml/kg/min (13.3-21.6) in the OMT group and 17.3 ml/kg/min (14.4-18.9) in the SGLT2i group, p = 0.18, not significantly different. The interesting finding is that the follow-up peak VO2 at one year for the OMT group was 17 ml/kg/min (13.3-21.6), which was not significantly different from the SGLT2i group peak VO2 of 17 ml/kg/min (14.6-19.6), p = 0.19. Our study is the first to compare before and after peak VO2 values of the OMT+SGLT2i group to the patient's own baseline and we found no significant improvement. Conclusion Our single-center data shows no improvement in functional capacity after the addition of SGLT2i therapy to OMT in patients with advanced heart failure. Improved hospitalization and symptoms may be attributed to other numerous effects of SGLT2i such as volume management.

Ventricular remodeling and hemodynamic changes in heart failure patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy following dapagliflozin initiation. Egypt Heart J 2024; 76:76. [PMID: 38888761 PMCID: PMC11189362 DOI: 10.1186/s43044-024-00508-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), sodium-glucose co-transporter inhibitors (SGLT-2i) have persistently shown cardiovascular benefits through different trials. However, their impact on ventricular remodeling and cardiac hemodynamics has not been sufficiently studied. This study aimed to study how SGLT-2i initiation affects invasive hemodynamics and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR)-derived ventricular volumes, function, and fraction of the extracellular volume (ECV) in HFrEF patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM). RESULTS In this study, 23 patients with HFrEF and a mean age of 42, including 82.6% males, all have NIDCM and underwent right heart catheterization and CMR at the initiation of dapagliflozin and at 6-month follow-up. The addition of dapagliflozin resulted in significant reductions in the following invasive hemodynamic parameters compared to baseline: left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (23.4 vs 19.7 mmHg, p = 0.003), mean pulmonary artery pressure (31.3 vs 27.7 mmHg, p = 0.03), and systemic vascular resistance (18 vs 15 Wood units, p = 0.047). Among the studied CMR-derived measurements, only the percentage of extracellular volume fraction was significantly less at follow-up (33.7 vs 32.16%, p = 0.001). Additionally, functional class showed significant improvement with a notable reduction of the NT-proBNP level and a considerable decrease in diuretic dose (median: 40 vs 80 mg, p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Adding dapagliflozin to patients with HFrEF due to NIDCM improved invasively measured hemodynamics and significantly reduced left ventricular extracellular volume fraction measured by CMR, with no significant change in ventricular volumes or ejection fraction.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have demonstrated to reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in large trials independent of glycemic control. The mechanisms of this cardioprotective property remain uncertain. Evidence suggests positive hemodynamic changes and favorable cardiac remodeling contributing to the clinical outcomes but results were conflicting. We aim to investigate the potential impact on hemodynamic parameters, cardiac structure and functions. This prospective observational study included T2DM patients receiving canagliflozin 100 mg per day in addition to their antidiabetic treatment. We analyzed hemodynamic parameters assessed by echocardiographic measurements and impedance cardiography (ICG) to evaluate systolic and diastolic functions from baseline to 24 weeks after treatment. A total of 47 patients (25 males and 22 females) averaging 64.6 ± 10.9 years had a significant reduction in HbA1c, body weight, and systolic blood pressure. Hematocrit increased significantly, while NT-proBNP remained unchanged. E/e', left atrium (LA) volume, and LA stiffness were reduced, while left ventricle (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) and LA strain rates increased at 24 weeks by conventional and speckle tracking echocardiography. LV mass and ejection fraction showed no differences. ICG suggested significant improvement in hemodynamic parameters with increased stroke volume index and cardiac output index and decreased systemic vascular resistance index at 12 and 24 weeks. Canagliflozin improved hemodynamic parameters and had a favorable impact on LA and LV reverse remodeling. These changes may explain the beneficial effect on cardiovascular outcomes in large clinical trials.

Abstract
The current study evaluated the effect of SGLT-2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin, on left ventricular remodeling in patients with type 2 diabetes and HFrEF. 60 patients were randomized (1:1) to receive dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily, or placebo double blind for 1 year. Patients underwent transthoracic echocardiography and doppler evaluation prior to dapagliflozin initiation and at 1 year. At 1year, adjusted mean difference versus placebo in change from baseline in LVEF was 2.5% (95% CI: 1.00-4.06, P = 0.002). Adjusted mean difference versus placebo in change from baseline in LVED volume was - 6.0ml (95% CI: -8.07 --3.87, P<0.001). Adjusted mean difference versus placebo in change from baseline in LVES volume was - 8.1ml (95% CI: -11.07 --5.14, P<0.001). Similarly, adjusted mean difference versus placebo in change from baseline in LVED diameter was - 1.6 mm (95% CI: -2.67 --0.62, P = 0.002). Adjusted mean difference versus placebo in change from baseline in VTI was 0.20 cm (95% CI: 0.01-0.38, P = 0.036). Dapagliflozin was well tolerated. Dapagliflozin was associated with significant and clinically meaningful improvement in echocardiographic parameters versus placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes and HFrEF.Registration number and date: ChiCTR2300072707, 21/06/2023.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a major health problem worldwide with a steadily increasing prevalence reaching epidemic proportions. The major concern is the increased morbidity and mortality due to diabetic complications. Traditional but also nontraditional risk factors have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications. Hyperglycemia has been considered an important risk factor, and the strict glycemic control can have a positive impact on microangiopathy but not macroangiopathy and its related morbidity and mortality. Thus, the therapeutic algorithm has shifted focus from a glucose-centered approach to a strategy that now emphasizes target-organ protection. Sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitors is an extremely important class of antidiabetic medications that, in addition to their glucose lowering effect, also exhibit cardio- and renoprotective effects. Various established and novel biomarkers have been described, reflecting kidney and cardiovascular function. In this review, we investigated the changes in established but also novel biomarkers of kidney, heart and vascular function associated with sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitors treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Pathophysiological basis of the cardiological benefits of SGLT-2 inhibitors: a narrative review. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:164.

Abstract
In recent years, GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), and SGLT-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) have become available, which have become valuable additions to therapy for type 2 diabetes as they are associated with low risk for hypoglycemia and cardiovascular benefits. Indeed, SGLT-2i have emerged as a promising class of agents to treat heart failure (HF). By inhibiting SGLT-2, these agents lead to excretion of glucose in urine with subsequent lowering of plasma glucose, although it is becoming clear that the observed benefits in HF cannot be explained by glucose-lowering alone. In fact, multiple mechanisms have been proposed to explain the cardiovascular and renal benefits of SGLT-2i, including hemodynamic, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, antioxidant, and metabolic effects. Herein, we review the available evidence on the pathophysiology of the cardiological benefits of SGLT-2i. In diabetic heart disease, in both clinical and animal models, the effect of SGLT-2i have been shown to improve diastolic function, which is even more evident in HF with preserved ejection fraction. The probable pathogenic mechanisms likely involve damage from free radicals, apoptosis, and inflammation, and therefore fibrosis, many of which have been shown to be improved by SGLT-2i. While the effects on systolic function in models of diabetic heart disease and HF with preserved ejection fraction is limited and contrasting, it is a key element in patients with HF and reduced ejection fraction both with and without diabetes. The significant improvement in systolic function appears to lead to subsequent structural remodeling of the heart with a reduction in left ventricle volume and a consequent reduction in pulmonary pressure. While the effects on cardiac metabolism and inflammation appear to be consolidated, greater efforts are still warranted to further define the entity to which these mechanisms contribute to the cardiovascular benefits of SGLT-2i.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:950437.

Abstract
Background The hemodynamic changes of patients with aortic stenosis (AS) who underwent transcatheter valve replacement (TAVR) have not been completely investigated. Methods and results We enrolled 74 patients with AS who underwent TAVR and assessed cardiac function changes at 1 week post-operation by impedance cardiography (ICG) in a supine position at rest for more than 15 min. Of the 74 patients, 47 had preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≥ 50%; preserved-LVEF group) and 27 had reduced LVEF (LVEF <50%; reduced-LVEF group). TAVR improved the cardiac structure and function, as evidenced by the decrease in the left ventricular end-diastolic (LVED), left atrial diameter (LAD), and an increase in the LVEF. We observed a decrease in N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level compared to that before treatment. Moreover, patients with reduced LVEF had a more significant reduction of NT-proBNP than those with preserved LVEF. Meanwhile, the blood pressure of patients had no significant differences pre- and post-operation. Based on ICG, there were no changes in the parameter of cardiac preload [thoracic fluid content (TFC)]. We observed an improvement in parameters of diastolic cardiac function [left ventricular ejection time (LVET) and pre-ejection period (PEP)]. And we detected converse results in parameters of heart systolic function [systolic time ratio (STR), cardiac output (CO), cardiac index (CI), stroke index (SI), and stroke volume (SV)] and cardiac afterload [stroke systemic vascular resistance (SSVR) and SSVR-index (SSVRI)]. In addition, TFC level was decreased in patients with thoracic volume overload after valve replacement. Subgroup analysis showed that the changes in those parameters were more noticeable in patients with reduced LVEF than that with preserved LVEF. Moreover, we observed no effects on parameters of heart systolic function and heart afterload in the LVEF ≥ 50% group before and after TAVR. Conclusion Our data revealed a beneficial effect of TAVR in diastolic function and preload as detected by the ICG. But the LV systolic function and cardiac afterload were not improved in patients with LVEF <50%. The result indicated that ICG could be used as an important technique to monitor the cardiac condition of patients after aortic valve replacement.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous reproductive endocrine disorder. Several ongoing trials test sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors for women with PCOS. However, their effectiveness has not been fully elucidated owing to the lack of high-confidence evidence. Our group agrees with the statement that SGLT-2 inhibition could treat PCOS as it is supported by reports demonstrating the benefits of SGLT-2 inhibition on metabolic status and weight control. Moreover, the functions of chronic inflammation amelioration and cardiovascular system protection make it a more attractive candidate for PCOS therapy. Therefore, to provide physicians with a reference, we intend to perform a meta-analysis on the efficacy and safety of SGLT-2 inhibitors on the endocrine and metabolic profiles of patients with PCOS. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will search for randomised controlled trials performed until September 2022 using PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, the PhRMA Clinical Study Results Database (www. CLINICALTRIALS gov), the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, the Wanfang, the Weipu and the Chinese biomedical literature databases. The outcomes will include androgen-associated outcomes, body fat, glucose and lipid homoeostasis, inflammatory outcomes and adverse events. In addition, two investigators will independently assess methodological quality using the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool 2. The analysis will be performed using RevMan V.5.3 software, and subgroup and sensitivity analyses and a meta-regression will be used to determine the heterogeneity source. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval is not required because this is a meta-analysis. We will disseminate these results by publishing them in a peer-reviewed journal.

Abstract
Metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, gout and hyperlipidemia are global health challenges. Among them, diabetes has been extensively investigated. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which is characterized by hyperglycemia, is a complex metabolic disease that is associated with various metabolic disorders. The newly developed oral hypoglycemic agent, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, has been associated with glucose-lowering effects and it affects metabolism in various ways. However, the potential mechanisms of SGLT2 inhibitors in metabolic diseases have not fully reviewed. Many of the effects beyond glycemic control must be considered off-target effects. Therefore, we reviewed the effects of SGLT2 inhibition on metabolic diseases such as obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, osteoporosis and fractures. Moreover, we elucidated their molecular mechanisms to provide a theoretical basis for metabolic disease treatment.

Hence, in this study, indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded lipid-coated zinc peroxide (ZnO2) nanoparticles (ZnO2@Lip-ICG) was constructed to realize tumour microenvironment (TME)-responsive self-oxygen supply. Near infrared light irradiation (808 nm), the lipid outer layer of ICG acquires sufficient energy to produce heat, thereby elevating the localised temperature, which results in accelerated ZnO2 release and apoptosis of tumour cells. The ZnO2 rapidly generates O2 in the TME (pH 6.5), which alleviates tumour hypoxia and then enhances the PDT effect of ICG. These results demonstrate that ZnO2@Lip-ICG NPs display good oxygen self-supported properties and outstanding PDT/PTT characteristics, and thus, achieve good tumour proliferation suppression.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide yet, despite advances in treatment, CVD remains an underestimated and undermanaged condition, with an even greater risk in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors (SGLT-2i) are a promising novel drug class reported to improve Cardiovascular (CV) and renal outcomes in T2DM. Recent large-scale trials have assessed their CV safety with unexpected findings of multiple systemic benefits that could potentially reverse CVD. In this systematic review, we examined ten Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) that looked at cardiovascular outcomes in Type 2 diabetics and SGLT-2i. The RCTs were appropriately screened, looking for clear primary or secondary outcomes on CV events, and compared with placebo or other antidiabetic drugs. The RCTs had an average sample population studied of 5,549 participants with a mean follow-up time of 2.66 years. Three of the studies focused on CV parameters and risk factors. The remaining had defined CV composite events, and all consistently observed at least one CV benefit when using SGLT-2i. Our review of SGLT-2i in Type 2 diabetics showed the greatest benefit in reducing Heart Failure (HF) exacerbation and modest lowering of CV complications in high CV risk participants. Overall, there is still uncertainty about the exact mechanisms of SGLT-2i in their CV benefit, and whether they would favor pre-diabetic populations and those at earlier stages of CVD.

Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitor (SGLT2i) as a Primary Preventative Agent in the Healthy Individual: A Need of a Future Randomised Clinical Trial? Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:712671.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a relatively novel class of drug for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that inhibits glucose reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule to promote glycosuria and reduce blood glucose levels. SGLT2i has been clinically indicated for treating T2DM, with numerous recent publications focussing on both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular and renal events in Type 2 diabetic patients. The most recent clinical trials showed that SGLT2i have moderately significant beneficial effects on atherosclerotic major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with histories of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. In this review and analysis, SGLT2i have however demonstrated clinically significant benefits in reducing hospitalisation for heart failure and worsening of chronic kidney disease (CKD) irrespective of pre-existing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or previous heart failure history. A meta-analysis suggests that all SGLT2 inhibitors demonstrated the therapeutic benefit on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, as shown in EMPAREG OUTCOME study with a significant decrease in myocardial infarction, without increased stroke risk. All the above clinical trial recruited type 2 diabetic patients. This article aims to postulate and review the possible primary prevention role of SGLT2i in healthy individuals by reviewing the current literature and provide a prospective overview. The emphasis will include primary prevention of Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Failure, CKD, Hypertension, Obesity and Dyslipidaemia in healthy individuals, whom are defined as healthy, low or intermediate risks patients.

Cardiovascular benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with heart failure: a meta-analysis of small and large randomized controlled trials. AMERICAN JOURNAL OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE 2021; 11:262-272.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown promise in improving cardiovascular outcome in patients with heart failure (HF) and diabetes mellitus (DM). Although these benefits have been confirmed by several meta-analyses, small studies have not been included into these pooled analyses. AIM Publication of recent RCTs prompted us to perform this updated meta-analysis to examine the consistency of favorable cardiovascular outcomes of SGLT2 inhibitors in HF patients by inclusion of clinical trials with small sample size. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of the literature in PubMed/Medline and ClinicalTrials.gov to identify all RCTs investigating the benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with HF. The primary endpoint of this meta-analysis was to compare the cardiovascular death (CVD) and hospitalization for HF (HHF) between patients who received an SGLT2 inhibitor and those who received a placebo or a non-SGLT2 inhibitor. We used a risk difference (RD) and log hazard ratio (HR) to pool the reported difference across the included RCTs. RESULTS A total of 12 RCTs encompassing 59,825 patients at different stages of HF and DM were included, 32,448 patients in the SGLT2 inhibitor group and 27,377 patients in the control group. A pooled analysis of RCTs, regardless of HF severity or DM status, showed a significantly reduced RD for CVD (RD =-0.01, 95% CI [-0.01, 0.00], P=0.01) and HHF (RD =-0.02, 95% CI [-0.03, -0.01], P=0.0005) in patients who received a SGLT2 inhibitor compared to those who did not. A sub-group analysis showed a significantly reduced RD for CVD (RD =-0.01, 95% CI [-0.02, 0.00], P=0.03) and HHF (RD =-0.02, 95% CI [-0.03, 0.00], P=0.01) in patients with DM who received SGLT2 inhibitors regardless of the severity of HF. Also, regardless of DM status, RD for HHF favored the use of SGLT2 inhibitor than the control medication (RD =-0.05, 95% CI [-0.06, -0.03], P<0.00001). CONCLUSION SGLT2 inhibitors have shown a promise in reducing CVD and HHF in patients with HF, regardless of ejection fraction or diabetes status.

Abstract
Background While the cardioprotective benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been established in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), their advantages over other anti-diabetic drugs at earlier stages remain unclear. We compared the cardioprotective effects of empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, with those of sitagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, focusing on cardiac fat accumulation, cardiac function, and cardiac metabolism in patients with early-stage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) without CVD complications. Methods This was a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint, parallel-group trial that enrolled 44 Japanese patients with T2DM. The patients were randomized for 12-week administration of empagliflozin or sitagliptin. Pericardial fat accumulation and myocardial triglyceride content were evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy, respectively. Echocardiography, 123I-β-methyl-iodophenyl pentadecanoic acid myocardial scintigraphy, and laboratory tests were performed at baseline and after the 12-week treatment period. Results The patients were middle-aged (50.3 ± 10.7 years, mean ± standard deviation) and overweight (body mass index 29.3 ± 4.9 kg/m2). They had a short diabetes duration (3.5 ± 3.2 years), HbA1c levels of 7.1 ± 0.8%, and preserved cardiac function (ejection fraction 73.8 ± 5.0%) with no vascular complications, except for one baseline case each of diabetic nephropathy and peripheral arterial disease. After the 12-week treatment, no differences from baseline were observed between the two groups regarding changes in pericardial, epicardial, and paracardial fat content; myocardial triglyceride content; cardiac function and mass; and cardiac fatty acid metabolism. However, considering cardiometabolic biomarkers, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and ketone bodies, including β-hydroxybutyric acid, were significantly increased, whereas uric acid, plasma glucose, plasma insulin, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance were significantly lower in the empagliflozin group than in the sitagliptin group (p < 0.05). Conclusions Although the effects on cardiac fat and function were not statistically different between the two groups, empagliflozin exhibited superior effects on cardiometabolic biomarkers, such as uric acid, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, ketone bodies, and insulin sensitivity. Therefore, when considering the primary preventive strategies for CVD, early supplementation with SGLT2 inhibitors may be more beneficial than DPP-4 inhibitors, even in patients with early-stage T2DM without current CVD complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on cardiovascular events have been reported in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with or without heart failure (HF), the impact of SGLT2i on cardiac remodelling remains to be established. METHODS We searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases up to November 16th, 2020, for randomized controlled trials reporting the effects of SGLT2i on parameters of cardiac structure, cardiac function, plasma N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level or the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) score in T2DM patients with or without chronic HF. The effect size was expressed as the mean difference (MD) or standardized mean difference (SMD) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). Subgroup analyses were performed based on the stage A-B or stage C HF population and HF types. RESULTS Compared to placebo or other antidiabetic drugs, SGLT2i showed no significant effects on left ventricular mass index, left ventricular end diastolic volume index, left ventricular end systolic volume index, or left atrial volume index. SGLT2i improved left ventricular ejection fraction only in the subgroup of HF patients with reduced ejection fraction (MD 3.16%, 95% CI 0.11 to 6.22, p = 0.04; I2 = 0%), and did not affect the global longitudinal strain in the overall analysis including stage A-B HF patients. SGLT2i showed benefits in the E/e' ratio (MD - 0.45, 95% CI - 0.88 to - 0.03, p = 0.04; I2 = 0%), plasma NT-proBNP level (SMD - 0.09, 95% CI - 0.16 to - 0.03, p = 0.004; I2 = 0%), and the KCCQ score (SMD 3.12, 95% CI 0.76 to 5.47, p = 0.01; I2 = 0%) in the overall population. CONCLUSION The use of SGLT2i was associated with significant improvements in cardiac diastolic function, plasma NT-proBNP level, and the KCCQ score in T2DM patients with or without chronic HF, but did not significantly affect cardiac structural parameters indexed by body surface area. The LVEF level was improved only in HF patients with reduced ejection fraction.

Abstract
The Dapagliflozin and Prevention of Adverse Outcomes in Heart Failure (DAPA-HF) study demonstrated that dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), reduced heart failure hospitalization and cardiovascular death in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HF-rEF), with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Multiple potential mechanisms have been proposed to explain this benefit, which may be multifactorial. This study aimed to quantify the contribution of the known natriuretic/diuretic effects of SGLT2is to changes in cardiac hemodynamics, remodeling, and fluid homeostasis in the setting of HF-rEF. An integrated cardiorenal mathematical model was used to simulate inhibition of SGLT2 and its consequences on cardiac hemodynamics in a virtual population of HF-rEF patients generated by varying model parameters over physiologically plausible ranges and matching to baseline characteristics of individual DAPA-HF trial patients. Cardiovascular responses to placebo and SGLT2i over time were then simulated. The baseline characteristics of the HF-rEF virtual population and DAPA-HF were in good agreement. SGLT2i-induced diuresis and natriuresis that reduced blood volume and interstitial fluid volume, relative to placebo within 14 days. This resulted in decreased left ventricular end-diastolic volume and pressure, indicating reduced cardiac preload. Thereafter, blood volume and interstitial fluid volume again began to accumulate, but pressures and volumes remained shifted lower relative to placebo. After 1 year, left ventricle mass was lower and ejection fraction was higher than placebo. These simulations considered only hemodynamic consequences of the natriuretic/diuretic effects of SGLT2i, as other mechanisms may contribute additional benefits besides those predictions.

Abstract
Sodium/glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a new type of glucose-lowering drug that can reduce blood glucose by inhibiting its reabsorption in proximal tubules and by promoting urinary glucose excretion. SGLT2i are widely used in the clinical treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In recent studies, SGLT2i were found to not only reduce blood glucose but also protect the heart and kidney, which can significantly reduce cardiovascular events, delay the progression of renal failure, greatly improve the quality of life of patients, and reduce medical expenses for families and society. As adverse cardiac and renal events are the most common and serious complications of T2DM, it is very important to understand the cardio- and renoprotective mechanisms of SGLT2i. This article reviews the historical development, pharmacological mechanism, heart and kidney protection and safety of SGLT2i. The information presented provides a theoretical basis for the clinical prevention and treatment of diabetes and its complications and for the development of new glucose-lowering drugs.

Zhang DP, Xu L, Wang LF, Wang HJ, Jiang F. Effects of antidiabetic drugs on left ventricular function/dysfunction: a systematic review and network meta-analysis. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2020; 19:10. [PMID: 31969144 PMCID: PMC6977298 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-020-0987-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2019] [Accepted: 01/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although a variety of antidiabetic drugs have significant protective action on the cardiovascular system, it is still unclear which antidiabetic drugs can improve ventricular remodeling and fundamentally delay the process of heart failure. The purpose of this network meta-analysis is to compare the efficacy of sodium glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, metformin (MET), sulfonylurea (SU) and thiazolidinediones (TZDs) in improving left ventricular (LV) remodeling in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and/or cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS We searched articles published before October 18, 2019, regardless of language or data, in 4 electronic databases: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Web of Science. We included randomized controlled trials in this network meta-analysis, as well as a small number of cohort studies. The differences in the mean changes in left ventricular echocardiographic parameters between the treatment group and control group were evaluated. RESULTS The difference in the mean change in LV ejection fraction (LVEF) between GLP-1 agonists and placebo in treatment effect was greater than zero (MD = 2.04% [0.64%, 3.43%]); similar results were observed for the difference in the mean change in LV end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) between SGLT-2 inhibitors and placebo (MD = - 3.3 mm [5.31, - 5.29]), the difference in the mean change in LV end-systolic volume (LVESV) between GLP-1 agonists and placebo (MD = - 4.39 ml [- 8.09, - 0.7]); the difference in the mean change in E/e' between GLP-1 agonists and placebo (MD = - 1.05[- 1.78, - 0.32]); and the difference in the mean change in E/e' between SGLT-2 inhibitors and placebo (MD = - 1.91[- 3.39, - 0.43]). CONCLUSIONS GLP-1 agonists are more significantly associated with improved LVEF, LVESV and E/e', SGLT-2 inhibitors are more significantly associated with improved LVEDD and E/e', and DPP-4 inhibitors are more strongly associated with a negative impact on LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) than are placebos. SGLT-2 inhibitors are superior to other drugs in pairwise comparisons.

Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are often overweight/obese and affected by arterial hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and have high serum levels of uric acid. Moreover, T2D patient have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular or renal complications, which are leading causes of morbidity and mortality in this population. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a new class of glucose-lowering medications that block the reabsorption of glucose in the kidney, thereby increasing urinary glucose excretion, and lowering blood glucose levels. The beneficial effects of SGLT2 inhibition extend beyond glycaemic control, and include improvement in blood pressure, body weight, uric acid concentrations, liver steatosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation. In dedicated cardiovascular outcome trials, SGLT2i treatment was associated with a significant reduction in the rate of cardiovascular events and renal endpoints. In this review, we summarize the evidence for extra-glycemic effects of SGLT2i and the potential mechanisms driving cardiorenal protection exerted by this class of medications.

[PMID: 31765648 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2019.117090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2019] [Revised: 11/10/2019] [Accepted: 11/18/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a relatively newer class of anti-hyperglycemic medications that reduce blood glucose by inhibition of renal glucose re-uptake, thereby increasing urinary glucose excretion. Although glycosuria is the primary mechanism of action of these agents, there is some evidence suggesting they can reduce insulin resistance and induce peripheral insulin sensitivity. Identifying the molecular mechanisms by which these medications improve glucose homeostasis can help us to develop newer forms of SGLT2i with lesser side effects. We have reviewed the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways by which SGLT2i therapy improve insulin sensitivity and ameliorates insulin resistance.
