Clin Ther 2024:S0149-2918(24)00149-8. [PMID: 38991865 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2024.06.010] [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: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease remains a prominent global cause of mortality, with coronary artery disease representing its most prevalent manifestation. Recently, a novel class of antidiabetic medication, namely sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, has been reported to have remarkable cardiorenal advantages for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), and they may reduce cardiorenal risk even in individuals without pre-existing DM. Currently, there is no evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of these drugs in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), regardless of diabetes status. This review aims to comprehensively present the available preclinical and clinical evidence regarding the potential role of SGLT2 inhibitors in the context of ACS, as adjuncts to standard-of-care treatment for this patient population, while also discussing potential short- and long-term cardiovascular benefits. METHODS A literature search was performed through MEDLINE (via PubMed), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Scopus until February 26, 2024. Eligible were preclinical and clinical studies, comprising randomized controlled trials (RCTs), real-world studies, and meta-analyses. FINDINGS Evidence from preclinical models indicates that the use of SGLT2 inhibitors is associated with a blunted ischemia-reperfusion injury and decreased myocardial infarct size, particularly after prior treatment. Although RCTs and real-world data hint at a potential benefit in acute ischemic settings, showing improvements in left ventricular systolic and diastolic function, decongestion, and various cardiometabolic parameters such as glycemia,body weight, and blood pressure, the recently published DAPA-MI (Dapagliflozin in Myocardial Infarction without Diabetes or Heart Failure) trial did not establish a clear advantage regarding surrogate cardiovascular end points of interest. SGLT2 inhibitors appear to provide a benefit in reducing contrast-induced acute kidney injury events in patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. However, data on other safety concerns, such as treatment discontinuation because of hypotension, hypovolemia, or ketoacidosis, are currently limited. IMPLICATIONS Despite the well-established cardiovascular benefits observed in the general population with type 2 DM and, more recently, in other patient groups irrespective of diabetes status, existing evidence does not support the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in the context of ACS. Definitive answers to this intriguing research question, which could potentially expand the therapeutic indications of this novel drug class, require large-scale, well-designed RCTs.

Empagliflozin's role in reducing ventricular repolarization heterogeneity: insights into cardiovascular mortality decline from the EMPATHY-HEART trial. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:221. [PMID: 38926835 PMCID: PMC11210164 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-024-02311-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) is significantly higher in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) than in the general population. Strategies for the prevention of fatal arrhythmias are often insufficient, highlighting the need for additional non-invasive diagnostic tools. The T-wave heterogeneity (TWH) index measures variations in ventricular repolarization and has emerged as a promising predictor for severe ventricular arrhythmias. Although the EMPA-REG trial reported reduced cardiovascular mortality with empagliflozin, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigates the potential of empagliflozin in mitigating cardiac electrical instability in patients with T2DM and coronary heart disease (CHD) by examining changes in TWH. METHODS Participants were adult outpatients with T2DM and CHD who exhibited TWH > 80 µV at baseline. They received a 25 mg daily dose of empagliflozin and were evaluated clinically including electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements at baseline and after 4 weeks. TWH was computed from leads V4, V5, and V6 using a validated technique. The primary study outcome was a significant (p < 0.05) change in TWH following empagliflozin administration. RESULTS An initial review of 6,000 medical records pinpointed 800 patients for TWH evaluation. Of these, 412 exhibited TWH above 80 µV, with 97 completing clinical assessments and 90 meeting the criteria for high cardiovascular risk enrollment. Empagliflozin adherence exceeded 80%, resulting in notable reductions in blood pressure without affecting heart rate. Side effects were generally mild, with 13.3% experiencing Level 1 hypoglycemia, alongside infrequent urinary and genital infections. The treatment consistently reduced mean TWH from 116 to 103 µV (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The EMPATHY-HEART trial preliminarily suggests that empagliflozin decreases heterogeneity in ventricular repolarization among patients with T2DM and CHD. This reduction in TWH may provide insight into the mechanism behind the decreased cardiovascular mortality observed in previous trials, potentially offering a therapeutic pathway to mitigate the risk of severe arrhythmias in this population. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT: 04117763.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 11:1370290. [PMID: 38562185 PMCID: PMC10982328 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2024.1370290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Background New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) is prognostic in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The timely identification of high-risk patients is essential for clinicians to improve patient prognosis. Methods A total of 333 AMI patients were collected who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital between October 2019 and October 2020. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression (Lasso) and multivariate logistic regression analysis were applied to pick out independent risk factors. Secondly, the variables identified were utilized to establish a predicted model and then internally validated by 10-fold cross-validation. The discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness of the prediction model were evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test decision curve analyses, and clinical impact curve. Result Overall, 47 patients (14.1%) developed NOAF. Four variables, including left atrial dimension, body mass index (BMI), CHA2DS2-VASc score, and prognostic nutritional index, were selected to construct a nomogram. Its area under the curve is 0.829, and internal validation by 10-fold cross-folding indicated a mean area under the curve is 0.818. The model demonstrated good calibration according to the Hosmer-Lemeshow test (P = 0.199) and the calibration curve. It showed satisfactory clinical practicability in the decision curve analyses and clinical impact curve. Conclusion This study established a simple and efficient nomogram prediction model to assess the risk of NOAF in patients with AMI who underwent PCI. This model could assist clinicians in promptly identifying high-risk patients and making better clinical decisions based on risk stratification.

Abstract
AIMS The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is significantly associated with short-term adverse cardiovascular events. However, the association between SHR and mortality after the acute phase of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains controversial. METHODS This study used data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV database. Patients with ACS hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) were retrospectively enrolled. RESULTS A total of 2668 ACS patients were enrolled. The incidence of in-hospital and 1-year mortality was 4.7 % and 13.2 %, respectively. The maximum SHR had a higher prognostic value for predicting both in-hospital and 1-year mortality than the first SHR. Adding the maximum SHR to the SOFA score could significantly improve the prognostic prediction. In the landmark analysis at 30 days, the maximum SHR was a risk factor for mortality within 30 days regardless of whether patients had diabetes. However, it was no longer associated with mortality after 30 days in patients with diabetes after adjustment (HR = 1.237 per 1-point increment, 95 % CI 0.854-1.790). CONCLUSIONS The maximum SHR was significantly associated with mortality in patients with ACS hospitalized in the ICU. However, caution is warranted if it is used for predicting mortality after 30 days in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sodium-glucose cotransporter- 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have become a cornerstone in heart failure (HF), Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) management. In the current retrospective study, we aimed to assess efficacy and safety of SGLT2 inhibitors early following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS Patients with T2DM hospitalized for AMI in 2017-2020 were divided according to SGLT2 inhibitors therapy status on discharge (with vs without therapy). Primary outcome was defined as a composite of hospitalizations for HF, recurrent AMI, and cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Secondary outcomes included hospitalizations for any cause, total cumulative number of hospitalizations, and all-cause mortality. RESULTS A total of 69 patients (mean age 59.2 ± 8.2 years) with AMI discharged with SGLT2 inhibitors were compared to 253 patients (mean age 62.5 ± 9.8) with no SGLT2 inhibitors. During the first year post-AMI, 4 (5.8%) patients in the treatment group and 16 (6.3%) in the control group were hospitalized for CV events (p = 1.0). Patients in the SGLT2 inhibitors group had lower rates of hospitalization for any cause (31.9% vs 47.8%, P = 0.02), with no change in mortality (0% vs 3.6%, P = 0.21). After multivariate regression analysis, only female gender was associated with increased risk for readmission, mainly due to urinary tract infections. No events of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or limb amputation were reported. CONCLUSIONS We found that early initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors in T2DM patients following AMI is safe and decreases the risk of hospitalization for any cause.

Abstract
Novel hypoglycemic agents, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), have shown protective effects against anthracycline (AC)-induced cardiotoxicity and exhibit partial anticancer effects in animal models. However, clinical evidence for this is scarce. This study aimed to evaluate whether SGLT2i improve the clinical outcomes of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) undergoing AC-containing chemotherapy. A total of 81,572 patients who underwent AC chemotherapy between 2014 and 2021 were recruited from a nationwide Korean cohort. Patients were classified into three groups: patients with T2DM taking SGLT2i (n = 780) and other hypoglycemic agents excluding SGLT2i (non-SGLT2i; n = 3,455) during AC chemotherapy, and the non-DM group (n = 77,337). The clinical outcome was a composite of heart failure hospitalization, acute myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and death. After propensity score matching, 779 SGLT2i users were compared with 7800 non-DM patients and 2,337 non-SGLT2i users. The SGLT2i group had better composite outcomes compared with the non-DM group (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 0.35, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 0.25-0.51) and compared with the non-SGLT2i group (adjusted HR = 0.47, 95% CI = 0.32-0.69). In conclusion, SGLT2i may contribute to improving clinical outcomes in patients with T2DM undergoing AC-containing chemotherapy, through an emulated target trial using Korean nationwide cohort data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress is an essential component participating in the development and maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF). Dapagliflozin, a SGLT2 inhibitor, has been shown to exert cardioprotective effects by ameliorating oxidative stress in multiple heart disease models. However, its potential to attenuate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced myocardial injury in rats remains unknown. AIM This study aims to investigate the role of dapagliflozin in LPS-induced myocardial injury and the potential mechanisms involved. METHODS Rats were intraperitoneally administered LPS to induce sepsis-like condition. The intervention was conducted with intraperitoneal injection of dapagliflozin or saline 1 h in advance. The effects of dapagliflozin were detected by electrophysiological recordings, western blot, qPCR, ELISA, HE staining, immunohistochemistry and fluorescence. We further validated the mechanism in vitro using HL-1 cells. RESULTS Dapagliflozin significantly improved LPS-induced myocardial injury, reduced susceptibility to AF, and mitigated atrial tissue inflammatory cell infiltration and atrial myocyte apoptosis. These were correlated with the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, which subsequently reduced oxidative stress. Subsequently, we used a specific inhibitor of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway in vitro, reversed the anti-oxidative stress effects of dapagliflozin on HL-1 cells, further confirming the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway's pivotal role in dapagliflozin-mediated cardioprotection. CONCLUSION Dapagliflozin ameliorated myocardial injury and susceptibility to AF induced by LPS through anti-oxidative stress, which relied on upregulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a well-recognized clinical entity and reflects a complex relationship between metabolic substrates and myocardial function. Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are antidiabetic agents that are found to exert multiple cardioprotective effects. Large clinical trials showed their beneficial effects on patients with heart failure, reducing the rates of rehospitalizations and improving kidney function. The aim of this review is to summarize the latest evidence in the literature regarding the multiple effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on patients across the spectrum of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
The global prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has led to a pandemic, with significant microvascular and macrovascular complications including coronary artery disease (CAD), which worsen clinical outcomes and cardiovascular prognosis. Patients with both acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and DM have worse prognosis and several pathophysiologic mechanisms have been implicated including, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, endothelial dysfunction, platelet activation and aggregations as well as plaque characteristics and extent of coronary lesions. Therefore, regarding reperfusion strategies in the more complex anatomies coronary artery bypass surgery may be the preferred therapeutic strategy over percutaneous coronary intervention while both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia should be avoided with closed monitoring of glycemic status during the acute phase of myocardial infraction. However, the best treatment strategy remains undefined. Non-insulin therapies, due to the low risk of hypoglycemia concurrently with the multifactorial CV protective effects, may be proved to be the best treatment option in the future. Nevertheless, evidence for the beneficial effects of glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists, dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 inhibitors and sodium glycose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, despite accumulating, is not robust and future randomized control trials may provide more definitive data.

Association between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and risk of in-hospital heart failure and arrhythmia in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1275713. [PMID: 37928759 PMCID: PMC10623153 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1275713] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background This study was to probe into the relationship between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and both in-hospital and long-term heart failure risk in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods 990 patients with AMI, including 386 with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and 604 with segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) were recruited between January 2019 and March 2022. The in-hospital acute heart failure (AHF) and arrhythmia events were recorded. Results The NLR was significantly greater in the AHF group in STEMI and NSTEMI patients, with a higher frequency of arrhythmia in comparison to the non-AHF group. A high NLR was related to a high level of myocardial injury markers, accompanied with more AHF and arrhythmia events. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that high NLR is independently linked with increased in-hospital AHF and arrhythmia risk. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses revealed that the prognostic value of NLR for in-hospital AHF was 0.704 in STEMI patients and 0.766 in NSTEMI patients. However, during a median follow-up of 28 months with 32 heart failure patients, there was no significant difference between the low NLR group (n = 18) and the high NLR group (n = 14). Further analysis showed that the two groups did not significantly differ in the occurrence of heart failure within 12 months of discharge. Conclusion Our results indicate that NLR is an independent risk factor of in-hospital AHF in AMI patients. However, NLR has no value in predicting long-term heart failure.

Cardiovascular protective effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on patients with acute coronary syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus: a retrospective study. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2023; 23:495. [PMID: 37805494 PMCID: PMC10559512 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-023-03542-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains the leading cause of death and disability worldwide, especially when combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Many multicenter randomized controlled trials have established the cardiovascular benefits of Sodium-Glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) in patients with T2DM at high cardiovascular risk. However, these studies did not include patients in the early stages of acute coronary events. This study investigated the cardiovascular protective effects of SGLT-2i in patients with ACS and T2DM. METHODS A total of 232 hospitalized patients with ACS and T2DM were enrolled and divided into two groups based on their hypoglycemic drug treatment: the SGLT-2i and the non-SGLT-2i groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression were used to compare adverse cardiovascular outcomes in both groups. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the hospital clinical outcomes between the SGLT-2i and non-SGLT-2i groups. The adverse cardiovascular outcomes did not significantly differ between both groups (hazard ratio (HR) 0.66, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.35-1.25, P = 0.195). Moreover, the rehospitalization rates for ACS or heart failure (HF) were not significantly different between both groups (adjusted HR 0.56, 95%CI 0.28-1.10, P = 0.093). When analyzed separately, there was no significant difference in rehospitalizations for ACS (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.40-1.87, P = 0.713). However, the SGLT-2i group showed lower rates of rehospitalizations for HF (adjusted HR 0.20, 95% CI 0.04-0.96, P = 0.045). Additionally, there was no significant difference in cardiovascular mortality between both groups (HR 1.75, 95% CI 0.28-10.97, P = 0.543). Notably, the SGLT-2i group exhibited a higher angina symptom control rate than the non-SGLT-2i group (adjusted odd ration (OR) 0.45, 95%CI 0.21-0.93, P = 0.031). CONCLUSION In recently diagnosed patients with ACS, who have T2DM, early initiation of SGLT-2i was associated with a lower risk of rehospitalization for HF and a higher rate of angina symptom control.

Unsuspected diabetic ketoacidosis after myocardial infarction in a patient treated with SGLT2 inhibitor increased length of stay in the hospital: how can it be prevented? A case report. Eur Heart J Case Rep 2023; 7:ytad336.

Abstract
Background As the use of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) has expanded beyond glucose-lowering therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), including chronic kidney disease and heart failure, there has also been an increase in reported cases of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) associated with SGLT2i. Case summary A 77-year-old woman with T2DM presented to the emergency department with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI) complicated by atrial fibrillation. Her medications included empagliflozin, an SGLT2i, initiated for T2DM. Diabetic ketoacidosis was suspected on the basis of a large anion gap, despite a plasma glucose level below 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) and the absence of symptoms, including nausea and vomiting. Laboratory tests confirmed metabolic acidosis and high ketones. However, the diagnosis of euglycaemic DKA (eu-DKA) was delayed due to lack of symptoms and moderate hyperglycaemia. The patient was successfully treated according to DKA management guidelines. She was discharged on insulin, and SGLT2i was discontinued. Discussion This is a case of asymptomatic eu-DKA after acute MI (AMI). We discuss the use of SGLT2is in AMI and arrhythmias from a review of the literature and the prophylaxis of eu-DKA. Regular monitoring of blood glucose and ketones should be performed in hospitalized T2DM patients treated with SGLT2i. The SGLT2i should be stopped as soon as possible in the event of critical illness or suspected DKA in the setting of an acute illness such as AMI. To help clinicians prevent this potentially fatal disease, we propose a flowchart for the prophylactic management of eu-DKA among inpatients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sodium Glucose co-Transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors (also known as 'gliflozins') represent a cornerstone to treat diabetes mellitus. Moreover, recent randomized clinical trials have demonstrated important cardioprotective effects of gliflozins, independent of the presence of diabetes. Herein, we summarize the recent therapeutic progress in the cardiovascular field obtained with SGLT2 inhibitors. AREA COVERED We critically examine the rationale and results of recent clinical studies examining the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on cardiovascular outcomes, along with a brief overview of the main ongoing trials that have been designed in order to answer the many pending questions in the field of gliflozins and cardiovascular disease. EXPERT OPINION The favorable results of several clinical trials have broadened the therapeutic scenario for SGLT2 inhibitors, opening, at the same time, new challenges. Additionally, recent preclinical findings have evidenced off-target effects of SGLT2 inhibitors.

Abstract
AIMS To analyze the association between chronic SGLT2-I treatment and development of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing PCI. METHODS Multicenter international registry of consecutive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and AMI undergoing PCI between 2018-2021. The study population was stratified by the presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and anti-diabetic therapy at admission (SGLT2-I versus non-SGLT2-I users). RESULTS The study population consisted of 646 patients: 111 SGLT2-I users [28 (25.2%) with CKD] and 535 non-SGLT2-I users [221 (41.3%) with CKD]. The median age was 70 [61-79] years. SGLT2-I users exhibited significantly lower creatinine values at 72h after PCI, both in the non-CKD and CKD stratum. The rate of CI-AKI was 76 (11.8%), significantly lower in SGLT2-I users compared to non-SGLT2-I patients (5.4% vs 13.1%, p=0.022). This finding was also confirmed in patients without CKD (p=0.040). In the CKD cohort, SGLT2-I users maintained significantly lower creatinine values at discharge. The use of SGLT2-I was an independent predictor of reduced rate of CI-AKI (OR 0.356; 95%CI 0.134-0.943, p=0.038). CONCLUSION In T2DM patients with AMI, the use of SGLT2-I was associated with a lower risk of CI-AKI, mostly in patients without CKD.

Abstract
The primary pharmacological action of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors is to inhibit the reabsorption of glucose and sodium ions from the proximal tubules of the kidney and to promote urinary glucose excretion. Notably, several clinical trials have recently demonstrated potent protective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with heart failure (HF) or chronic kidney disease (CKD), regardless of the presence or absence of diabetes. However, the impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on sudden cardiac death (SCD) or fatal ventricular arrhythmias (VAs), the pathophysiology of which is partly similar to that of HF and CKD, remains undetermined. The cardiorenal protective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors have been reported to include hemodynamic improvement, reverse remodeling of the failing heart, amelioration of sympathetic hyperactivity, correction of anemia and impaired iron metabolism, antioxidative effects, correction of serum electrolyte abnormalities, and antifibrotic effects, which may lead to prevent SCD and/or VAs. Recently, as possible direct cardiac effects of SGLT2 inhibitors, not only inhibition of Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) activity, but also suppression of late Na+ current have been focused on. In addition to the indirect cardioprotective mechanisms of SGLT2 inhibitors, suppression of aberrantly increased late Na+ current may contribute to preventing SCD and/or VAs via restoration of the prolonged repolarization phase in the failing heart. This review summarizes the results of previous clinical trials of SGLT2 inhibitors for prevention of SCD, their impact on the indices of electrocardiogram, and the possible molecular mechanisms of their anti-arrhythmic effects.

Correlation between osteoprotegerin and coronary artery calcification in diabetic subjects: a systematic review of observational studies. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2023; 23:96. [PMID: 36809976 PMCID: PMC9942374 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-023-03123-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is one of the critical cardiovascular complications that lead to elevated morbidity and mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2M). The association between osteoprotegerin (OPG) and CAC could potentially provide a reasonable chance for preventive therapy in type 2 diabetic patients and benefit the rate of mortality. Since measurement of CAC score is relatively expensive and requires radiation exposure, the current systematic review aims to provide clinical evidence for evaluating the prognostic role of OPG in determining CAC risk among subjects with T2M. Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and Scopus, were investigated until July 2022. We assessed human studies investigating the association of OPG with CAC in type 2 diabetic patients. Quality assessment was performed by Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scales (NOS). Out of 459 records, 7 studies remained eligible to be included. Observational studies that provided odds ratio (OR) estimates with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between OPG and the risk of CAC were analyzed by random-effects model. In order to provide a visual summary of our findings, the estimation of pooled OR from cross-sectional studies was reported as 2.86 [95% CI 1.49-5.49], which is consistent with the findings of the cohort study. Results revealed that the association between OPG and CAC was significant among diabetic patients. OPG is hypothesized to be a potential marker in predicting the presence of high coronary calcium score among subjects with T2M that could be recognized as a novel target for further pharmacological investigations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have reported that lipid-derived indicators are associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in various populations; however, it is unclear which lipid-derived indicators could effectively predict T2D risk. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the association between four lipid-derived indicators and T2D risk. METHODS This was a post-hoc analysis from a large cohort that included data from 114,700 Chinese individuals aged 20 years and older from 11 cities and 32 sites. The association between four lipid-derived indicators and T2D risk was determined using Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival curves, Cox regression, and restricted cubic spline analyses. This study used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for assessing the ability of four lipid-derived indicators to accurately predict the development of T2D during follow-up. RESULTS This study included a total of 114,700 participants, with a mean age of 44.15. These individuals were followed up for 3.1 years, of which 2668 participants developed T2D. ROC curve analysis showed that TyG was the most robust predictor of 3-year [aera under the ROC (AUC) = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.768, 0.772] and 5-year T2D risk (AUC = 0.763, 95% CI: 0.760, 0.765). In addition, sensitivity analysis showed an association between TyG and an increased incidence of T2D. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that TyG was a superior for predicting the risk of developing T2D in the general Chinese population.

ST-segment elevation predicts the occurrence of malignant ventricular arrhythmia events in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2023; 23:61. [PMID: 36732698 PMCID: PMC9896671 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-023-03099-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND ST-segment elevation (STE) represents a repolarization dispersion marker underlying arrhythmogenesis in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI); however, its value for predicting malignant ventricular arrhythmia events (MVAEs) remains uncertain. METHODS In total, 285 patients with STEMI and those with or without MVAEs who presented within 6 h of symptom onset were enrolled. The relationships between STE and clinical characteristics of MVAEs (defined as ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation) were analyzed using t-test, chi-square test, binary multivariate logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. RESULTS Patients with STEMI and MVAEs had a shorter time from symptom onset to balloon time (p = 0.0285) and greater STE (p < 0.01) than those without MVAEs. The symptom-to-balloon time, age, and STE were associated with MVAEs after stepwise regression analysis in all cases. Only STE was significantly associated with the occurrence of MVAEs (all, p < 0.01). The area under the curve (AUC) of STE for predicting MVAEs was 0.905, and the cut-off value was 4.5 mV. When only infarct-related arteries were included in the analysis, the AUC of the left anterior descending artery was 0.925 with a cut-off value of 4.5 mV, that of the right coronary artery was 0.915 with a cut-off value of 4.5 mV, and that of the left circumflex artery was 0.929 with a cut-off value of 4.0 mV. CONCLUSIONS In patients with STEMI presenting within 6 h of symptom onset, age, symptom-to-balloon time, and STE were the main predictors for MVAEs. However, among these, STE was the strongest predictor for MVAEs and was an index for repolarization dispersion of cardiomyocytes in infarcted and non-infarcted areas.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent arrhythmia and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Pathophysiological aspects consist in the activation of pro-fibrotic signaling and Ca2+ handling abnormalities at atrial level. Structural and electrical remodeling creates a substrate for AF by triggering conduction abnormalities and cardiac arrhythmias. The care of AF patients focuses predominantly on anticoagulation, symptoms control and the management of risk factors and comorbidities. The goal of AF therapy points to restore sinus rhythm, re-establish atrioventricular synchrony and improve atrial contribution to the stroke volume. New layer of information to better comprehend AF pathophysiology, and identify targets for novel pharmacological interventions consists of the epigenetic phenomena including, among others, DNA methylation, histone modifications and noncoding RNAs. Moreover, the benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in diabetic and non-diabetic patients at cardiovascular risk as well as emerging evidence on the ability of SGLT2i to modify epigenetic signature in cardiovascular diseases provide a solid background to investigate a possible role of this drug class in the onset and progression of AF. In this review, following a summary of pathophysiology and management, epigenetic mechanisms in AF and the potential of sodium-glucose SGLT2i in AF patients are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation has been implicated in the progressive exacerbation of valvular atrial fibrillation (VAF) and thrombogenesis. This study aimed to analyze the association of systemic inflammation as measured by six indices with left atrial thrombus (LAT) in patients with VAF. METHODS This comparative cross-sectional analytical study included 434 patients with VAF. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the predictive value of LAT using six inflammation indices: neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), white blood cell-to-mean platelet volume ratio, neutrophil-to-mean platelet volume ratio, systemic immune inflammation index, and systemic inflammation response index. Receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted, and the area under these curves (AUC) were calculated to evaluate the discriminative ability of the indices. RESULTS Transesophageal echocardiography revealed LAT in 143 (32.9%) patients. All six indices reflected a positive correlation with C-reactive protein levels. Multivariate logistic analysis revealed that these indices were independent predictors of LAT, and MLR appeared to perform best (odds ratio 12.006 [95% confidence interval (CI) 3.404-42.347]; P < 0.001; AUC 0.639 [95% CI 0.583-0.694]; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Selected inflammatory indices were significantly and independently associated with LAT among patients with VAF.

Evaluation of the usefulness of determining the level of selected inflammatory biomarkers and resistin concentration in perivascular adipose tissue and plasma for predicting postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients who underwent myocardial revascularisation. Lipids Health Dis 2023; 22:2. [PMID: 36624488 PMCID: PMC9827643 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-022-01769-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of coronary artery disease (CAD) is related to the impaired quantity and composition of inflammatory proteins found in plasma and tissue, such as interleukin 6 (IL-6), adipokines, and resistin. Therefore, the level of plasma resistin in patients with advanced CAD could be indicative of the condition of epicardial adipose tissue and thus have an impact on the frequency and severity of postoperative complications in the form of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. METHODS The study included 108 patients who qualified for elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery from 2017 to 2020 and were categorized into two groups. The first group consisted of patients who developed atrial fibrillation in the postoperative period - the AF group, and the second group included patients who did not have arrhythmia - the non-AF group. The analysis incorporates the history, course of treatment, anthropometric characteristics of the test subjects, biochemical laboratory tests, and echocardiography. Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) sections were surgically harvested from the area of the left coronary trunk. RESULTS The resistin levels in the PVAT were significantly higher in the AF group than in the non-AF group (P = 0.000015). Similarly, plasma resistin levels increased significantly in the AF group compared to the non-AF group (P = 0.044). The values of other analyzed variables were not significantly different (analysis performed using the Mann-Whitney U test). Spearman's rank-order correlation technique found a correlation between resistin in PVAT and plasma (r = 0.5933; P < 0.0001) in the whole study group, as well as in the AF group (r = 0.4782; P = 0.021) and the non-AF group (r = 0.4938; P < 0.0001). A correlation arose between the level of resistin in PVAT and the level of hsCRP (r = 0.3463; P = 0.005) in the whole study group and the non-AF group (r = 0.4448; P = 0.0011); however, no such correlation appeared in the AF group (r = 0.3076; P = 0.306). CONCLUSIONS Elevated levels of plasma resistin, which reflect PVAT resistin levels in patients qualified for myocardial revascularisation, may be associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation complications.

METHODS In this multicenter international registry all consecutive diabetic AMI patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention between 2018 and 2021 were enrolled and, based on the admission anti-diabetic therapy, divided into SGLT-I users versus non-SGLT2-I users. The primary endpoint was defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, recurrent AMI, and hospitalization for HF (MACE). Secondary outcomes included i) in-hospital cardiovascular death, recurrent AMI, occurrence of arrhythmias, and contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI); ii) long-term cardiovascular mortality, recurrent AMI, heart failure (HF) hospitalization. RESULTS The study population consisted of 646 AMI patients (with or without ST-segment elevation): 111 SGLT2-I users and 535 non-SGLT-I users. The use of SGLT2-I was associated with a significantly lower in-hospital cardiovascular death, arrhythmic burden, and occurrence of CI-AKI (all p < 0.05). During a median follow-up of 24 ± 13 months, the primary composite endpoint, as well as cardiovascular mortality and HF hospitalization were lower for SGLT2-I users compared to non-SGLT2-I patients (p < 0.04 for all). After adjusting for confounding factors, the use of SGLT2-I was identified as independent predictor of reduced MACE occurrence (HR=0.57; 95%CI:0.33-0.99; p = 0.039) and HF hospitalization (HR=0.46; 95%CI:0.21-0.98; p = 0.041). CONCLUSIONS In T2DM AMI patients, the use of SGLT2-I was associated with a lower risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes during index hospitalization and long-term follow-up. Our findings provide new insights into the cardioprotective effects of SGLT2-I in the setting of AMI. REGISTRATION Data are part of the observational international registry: SGLT2-I AMI PROTECT.

The Therapeutic Role of SGLT-2 Inhibitors in Acute Heart Failure: From Pathophysiologic Mechanisms to Clinical Evidence with Pooled Analysis of Relevant Studies across Safety and Efficacy Endpoints of Interest. LIFE (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:life12122062. [PMID: 36556427 PMCID: PMC9782870 DOI: 10.3390/life12122062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 11/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
(1) Background: Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors constitute a novel drug class with remarkable cardiovascular benefits for patients with chronic heart failure (HF). Recently, this class has been utilized in acute HF as an additional treatment option to classic diuretics, which remain the cornerstone of treatment. (2) Methods: We attempted to identify those pathophysiologic mechanisms targeted by SGLT-2 inhibitors, which could be of benefit to patients with acute HF. We then conducted a comprehensive review of the literature within the PubMed database in order to identify relevant studies, both randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies, assessing the safety and efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors in acute HF. (3) Results: SGLT-2 inhibitors induce significant osmotic diuresis and natriuresis, decrease interstitial fluid volume and blood pressure, improve left ventricular (LV) function, ameliorate LV remodeling and prevent atrial arrhythmia occurrence, mechanisms that seem to be beneficial in acute HF. However, currently available studies, including six RCTs and two real-world studies, provide conflicting results concerning the true efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors, including "hard" surrogate endpoints. (4) Conclusions: Current evidence appears insufficient to substantiate the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors in acute HF. Further trials are required to shed more light on this issue.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a lipid-driven chronic inflammatory disease that is widespread in the walls of large and medium-sized arteries. Its pathogenesis is not fully understood. The currently known pathogenesis includes activation of pro-inflammatory signaling pathways in the body, increased oxidative stress, and increased expression of cytokines/chemokines. In the innate immune response, inflammatory vesicles are an important component with the ability to promote the expression and maturation of inflammatory factors, release large amounts of inflammatory cytokines, trigger a cascade of inflammatory responses, and clear pathogens and damaged cells. Studies in the last few years have demonstrated that NLRP3 inflammatory vesicles play a crucial role in the development of atherosclerosis as well as its complications. Several studies have shown that NLRP3 binding to ligands promotes inflammasome formation, activates caspase-1, and ultimately promotes its maturation and the maturation and production of IL-1β and IL-18. IL-1β and IL-18 are considered to be the two most prominent inflammatory cytokines in the inflammasome that promote the development of atherosclerosis. SGLT2 inhibitors are novel hypoglycemic agents that also have significant antiatherosclerotic effects. However, their exact mechanism is not yet clear. This article is a review of the literature on the effects and mechanisms of SGLT2 inhibitors on the NLRP3 inflammasome, focusing on their role in antiatherosclerosis.
