Abstract
Heart disease remains a prominent global health concern, with cardiovascular disease (CVD) standing as a leading cause of death worldwide. Preventing heart disease not only decreases the risk of premature death but also mitigates complications like heart attacks, strokes, and arrhythmias, thereby enhancing overall health and quality of life. The economic burden of heart disease treatment highlights the importance of implementing preventive measures, such as lifestyle changes and early interventions, which can alleviate healthcare costs. These strategies, targeting risk factors like hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM), dyslipidemia, and obesity, not only prevent heart disease but also reduce the risk of other health issues. Herein, this review covers various preventive measures, including dietary interventions, exercise, controlling HTN, DM, cholesterol, and weight, smoking cessation, and pharmacological interventions. By critically analyzing the guidelines and leveraging robust data alongside variations in recommendations, this review aims to elucidate effective primary prevention strategies for CVD.

Abstract
IntroductionSodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are proven to ameliorate kidney and heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), in addition to improving glycemic controls. Canagliflozin is a SGLT2i and has proved beneficial for kidney and heart diseases in addition to decreasing the incidence of the composite outcomes of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.Areas coveredThis paper reviews the development of canagliflozin and its effects on renal dysfunction, heart failure, and vascular diseases.Expert opinionCanagliflozin contributes to the inhibition of renal function, decline progression and, therefore, is effective for T2D patients with chronic kidney dysfunction and albuminuria. The Canagliflozin Cardiovascular Assessment Study (CANVAS) revealed that patients showed increased incidence of amputation via unknown mechanisms, which has not been observed in other studies that used real-world data. Moreover, canagliflozin has been proven effective for anemia-associated outcomes of chronic kidney failure. Meta-analyses have revealed that canagliflozin contributed to lower diastolic blood pressure when compared with other SGLT2is. A subanalysis of CANVAS data proved that canagliflozin reduced the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Canagliflozin should be used for T2D patients with chronic kidney failure and/or albuminuria and those with vascular diseases, with monitoring for ulcers and/or the pulse on the lower limb.

Abstract
Cardiovascular (CV) diseases are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Therefore, there has been an increasing endorsement from diabetic associations across the globe for the use of anti-diabetic drugs, which not only provide not only glycemic control but also have cardioprotective effects. Sodium-glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are one class of drugs that have shown evidence of CV benefits in patients with type 2 DM. We reviewed the published literature and found five adequately powered clinical trials that evaluated the CV effects of SGLT2 inhibitors in type 2 DM patients. These trials assessed the CV effect of three SGLT2 inhibitors, namely, empagliflozin, canagliflozin, and dapagliflozin. It was found that all these clinical trials were multi-centric and conducted in and after 2015 across different parts of the World, enrolling type 2 DM patients with varied baseline characteristics in terms of age, BMI, sex, glomerular filtration rate, history of existing renal diseases, etc. In spite of these differences, the SGLT2 drugs were found to be beneficial by significantly reducing all-cause mortality, mortality due to CV causes, and risk of major CV events. All the studies highlighted the cardioprotective effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors, especially empagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and canagliflozin in type 2 DM patients with established CV disease, but the studies could not find significant improvement in 3P-MACE (three-point major adverse CV event) indicators offered by these drugs except empagliflozin. Hence, adequately powered clinical trials with long follow-up durations are the need of the hour to address this issue specifically.

Abstract
HM41322 is a novel oral sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) 1/2 dual inhibitor. In this study, the in vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacologic profiles of HM41322 were compared to those of dapagliflozin. HM41322 showed a 10-fold selectivity for SGLT2 over SGLT1. HM41322 showed an inhibitory effect on SGLT2 similar to dapagliflozin, but showed a more potent inhibitory effect on SGLT1 than dapagliflozin. The maximum plasma HM41322 level after single oral doses at 0.1, 1, and 3 mg/kg were 142, 439, and 1830 ng/ml, respectively, and the T1/2 was 3.1 h. HM41322 was rapidly absorbed and reached the circulation within 15 min. HM41322 maximized urinary glucose excretion by inhibiting both SGLT1 and SGLT2 in the kidney. HM41322 3 mg/kg caused the maximum urinary glucose excretion in normoglycemic mice (19.32±1.16 mg/g) at 24 h. In normal and diabetic mice, HM41322 significantly reduced glucose excursion. Four-week administration of HM41322 in db/db mice reduced HbA1c in a dose dependent manner. Taken together, HM41322 showed a favorable preclinical profile of postprandial glucose control through dual inhibitory activities against SGLT1 and SGLT2.

Tanaka A, Node K. Increased amputation risk with canagliflozin treatment: behind the large cardiovascular benefit? Cardiovasc Diabetol 2017; 16:129.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence suggests that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors appear to be a powerful option to improve the cardiovascular (CV) prognosis in high CV-risk patients with type 2 diabetes. Despite a significant reduction in major adverse CV events with SGLT2 inhibitor treatment, however, an unexpected increased risk of amputation was observed in the CANVAS program and the subsequent pharmacovigilance analysis. Although the underlying mechanisms are currently unknown, because amputation has a large negative impact on patient clinical course, clinicians want to know the exact reason for the increased amputation in the canagliflozin treatment. We herein discuss a need to elucidate the actual reasons with more appropriate statistical consideration, taking into account individual clinical course potentially involved in the diabetes-related amputation. Decreases in the hardendpoints by canagliflozin might result in an alternate increase in the other diabetes-related complications, including amputation. In addition, if amputation occurred after stopping canagliflozin, the incidence might be caused by worsened glycemic control and a decrease in hematocrit, accompanied by a subsequent worsening of diabetic foot disease. More detailed approach considering individual clinical course potentially involved in the amputation, would help to further unravel the cause for suspected risk of amputation with canagliflozin.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The efficacy of administering a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor during insulin therapy has not been established. In this study, we examined its effects based on diurnal glycemic patterns using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). METHODS The subjects were 15 patients who had received insulin therapy for 1 year or more. A CGM device was attached to all subjects for 1 week. The administration of canagliflozin at 100 mg was started 4 days after attachment. The mean glucose concentrations, standard deviation (SD), mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), mean of daily difference of blood glucose (MODD), and area under the curve (AUC) (≥180, <70 mg h/dL) after the start of administration were compared with the pretreatment values. In addition, we compared changes in the number of insulin units between basal and bolus insulin. Furthermore, we investigated the influence of canagliflozin on oxidative stress markers and cytokines using 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and adiponectin as parameters. RESULTS The mean glucose concentrations decreased from 161.1 to 139.1 mg/dL (P < 0.01). The SD decreased from 36.5 to 29.6 mg/dL (P = 0.05). The MAGE decreased from 89.2 to 77.4 mg/dL (P < 0.01), and the MODD decreased from 34.3 to 25.5 mg/dL (P < 0.05). All parameters showed significant improvements in diurnal changes. AUC of ≥180, i.e., the total area of blood glucose levels at or above 180 on the blood glucose curve of CGM, decreased from 339.1 to 113.6 mg/dL (P < 0.05). AUC of <70, i.e., the total area of blood glucose levels below 70 on the blood glucose curve of CGM, slightly decreased from 1.6 to 0.3 mg/dL (P = 0.08). The total number of basal insulin units decreased from 128 to 76, and that of bolus insulin decreased from 266 to 154; the dose of insulin could be markedly decreased. In addition, the mean 8-OHdG level decreased from 11.4 to 10.8 ng/mg Cre (P < 0.05), and the mean TNF-α level decreased from 2.31 to 1.79 pg/mL (P = 0.10). The mean adiponectin level increased from 5.01 to 5.53 μg/mL (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Canagliflozin improved blood glucose changes in type 2 diabetes using insulin. In addition, the results suggest its antioxidant actions. TRIAL REGISTRATION University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN no. 000019429).
