Project description:AimTo evaluate the impact of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) on risk of heart failure hospitalization in patients with type 2 diabetes.MethodsWe searched the PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, CBM, and other web knowledge databases for data from randomized controlled trials. We performed statistical analyses by using review Manager (RevMan) 5.3 and STATA 12.0 for meta-analysis.ResultsEight randomized controlled trials that compared SGLT-2i versus placebo met our inclusion criteria and were included in the study. The final meta-analysis included a total of 55,763 type 2 diabetes patients. Compared with placebo, SGLT-2i reduced the risk of heart failure hospitalization (RR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.53 to 0.74; P < 0.00001), MACE (defined as cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or ischemic stroke) (RR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.86 to 0.98; P < 0.007), cardiovascular death (RR, 0.78; 95%CI, 0.62 to 0.99; P = 0.04) in type 2 diabetes patients. SGLT-2i could reduce the risk of death from any cause (RR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.59 to 1.01; P = 0.06) without statistical significance in type 2 diabetes patients.ConclusionCompared with placebo, SGLT-2i may reduce the risk of heart failure hospitalization, MACE, and cardiovascular death. Therefore, SGLT-2i may be an ideal choice for type 2 diabetes mellitus patient with heart failure. These results will help inform practitioners, patients, and authorities making appropriate choices in hypoglycemic therapy clinical practice.

Project description:AimsTo systematically review randomized controlled trials assessing effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) on hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) and cardiac structure/function and explore randomized controlled trial (RCT)-derived evidence for SGLT2i efficacy mechanisms in heart failure (HF).Methods and resultsSystematic searches of Medline and Embase were performed. In seven trials [3730-17 160 patients; low risk of bias (RoB)], SGLT2is significantly reduced the relative risk of HHF by 27-39% vs. placebo, including in two studies in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction with or without type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Improvements in conventional cardiovascular risk factors, including glycaemic levels, cannot account for these effects. Five trials (56-105 patients; low RoB) assessed the effects of 6-12 months of SGLT2i treatment on left ventricular structure/function; four reported significant improvements vs. placebo, and one did not. Five trials (low RoB) assessed SGLT2i treatment effects on serum N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide levels; significant reductions vs. placebo were reported after 8-12 months (two studies; 3730-4744 patients) but not ≤12 weeks (three studies; 80-263 patients). Limited available RCT-derived evidence suggests various possible cardioprotective SGLT2i mechanisms, including improved haemodynamics (natriuresis and reduced interstitial fluid without blood volume contraction/neurohormonal activation) and vascular function, enhanced erythropoiesis, reduced tissue sodium and epicardial fat/inflammation, decreased sympathetic tone, and beneficial changes in cellular energetics.ConclusionsSodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors reduce HHF regardless of T2DM status, and reversal of adverse left ventricular remodelling likely contributes to this efficacy. Hypothesis-driven mechanistic trials remain sparse, although numerous trials are planned or ongoing.

Project description:Background and aimsClinical comparisons of angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) treatment in patients with HFrEF and T2DM are limited. This study evaluated the clinical outcomes and treatment benefits of SGLT2i versus ARNI treatment in patients with HFrEF and T2DM in a large real-world data set.MethodsWe identified 1487 patients with HFrEF and T2DM who were undergoing ARNI or SGLT2i treatment for the first time (n = 647 and 840, respectively) between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2021, and with clinical outcomes of CV death, hospitalization for heart failure (HHF), composite CV outcomes, or renal outcomes.ResultsThe HHF risk reduction conferred by SGLT2i treatment was more significant than that conferred by ARNI treatment (37.7% vs. 30.4%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06-1.41). SGLT2i use conferred significantly greater renal protection against the doubling of serum creatinine (13.1% vs. 9.3%; 95% CI 1.05-1.75), an estimated glomerular filtration rate decline of > 50% (24.9% vs. 20.0%; 95% CI 1.02-1.45), and progression to end-stage renal disease (3.1% vs. 1.5%; 95% CI 1.62-5.23). The improvements in echocardiographic parameters were comparable between the groups.ConclusionsCompared with ARNI treatment, SGLT2i treatment was associated with a more significant HHF risk reduction and greater preservation of renal function in patients with HFrEF and T2DM. This study also supports the prioritization of SGLT2i use in these patients when patients' conditions or economic resources need to be considered.

Project description:Despite current established therapy, heart failure (HF) remains a leading cause of hospitalization and mortality worldwide. Novel therapeutic targets are therefore needed to improve the prognosis of patients with HF. The EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial ([Empagliflozin] Cardiovascular Outcome Event Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients) demonstrated significant reductions in mortality and HF hospitalization risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and cardiovascular disease with the antihyperglycemic agent, empagliflozin, a sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. The CANVAS trial (Canagliflozin Cardiovascular Assessment Study) subsequently reported a reduction in 3-point major adverse cardiovascular events and HF hospitalization risk. Although SGLT2 inhibition may have potential application beyond T2D, including HF, the mechanisms responsible for the cardioprotective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors remain incompletely understood. SGLT2 inhibition promotes natriuresis and osmotic diuresis, leading to plasma volume contraction and reduced preload, and decreases in blood pressure, arterial stiffness, and afterload as well, thereby improving subendocardial blood flow in patients with HF. SGLT2 inhibition is also associated with preservation of renal function. Based on data from mechanistic studies and clinical trials, large clinical trials with SGLT2 inhibitors are now investigating the potential use of SGLT2 inhibition in patients who have HF with and without T2D. Accordingly, in this review, we summarize the key pharmacodynamic effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and the clinical evidence that support the rationale for the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with HF who have T2D. Because these favorable effects presumably occur independent of blood glucose lowering, we also explore the potential use of SGLT2 inhibition in patients without T2D with HF or at risk of HF, such as in patients with coronary artery disease or hypertension. Finally, we provide a detailed overview and summary of ongoing cardiovascular outcome trials with SGLT2 inhibitors.

Project description:AimsWe aimed to examine efficacy and safety outcomes of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) for the treatment of heart failure (HF), especially in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).Methods and resultsPubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched to identify randomized controlled trials comparing SGLT2i vs. placebo in HF patients. A total of 10 studies with 23 852 HF patients were eventually included. Compared with placebo, SGLT2i is associated with a lower incidence of composite of first hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) or cardiovascular death (CV death) [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.76 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.71-0.81], which is consistent regardless of the diabetes status, type of gliflozines used, and follow-up duration. SGLT2i can reduce the risk of total HHF or CV death (HR = 0.74, 95%CI = 0.68-0.81), first HHF (HR = 0.69, 95%CI = 0.64-0.75), CV death (HR = 0.88, 95%CI = 0.80-0.96), any death (HR = 0.90, 95%CI = 0.83-0.97), and any serious events (HR = 0.90, 95%CI = 0.87-0.93) in HF patients, at the cost of increased risk of urinary tract infections (risk ratio = 1.17, 95%CI = 1.03-1.33). In HFpEF patients, SGLT2i is associated with a significant reduction of composite of first HHF or CV death (HR = 0.81, 95%CI = 0.73-0.91), first HHF (HR = 0.71, 95%CI = 0.62-0.82), and total HHF or CV death (HR = 0.61, 95%CI = 0.43-0.86).ConclusionsSodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor contributed to better efficacy outcomes in overall HF patients and showed an inspiring breakthrough in the treatment of HFpEF.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at increased risk of developing heart failure. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) in patients with T2DM. We aimed to develop and validate a practical clinical risk score for HHF in patients with T2DM and assess whether this score can identify high-risk patients with T2DM who have the greatest reduction in risk for HHF with a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor. METHODS:We developed a clinical risk score for HHF in 8212 patients with T2DM in the placebo arm of SAVOR-TIMI 53 (Saxagliptin Assessment of Vascular Outcomes Recorded in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus-Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 53). Candidate variables were assessed using multivariable Cox regression, and independent clinical risk indicators achieving statistical significance of P<0.001 were included in the risk score. We externally validated the score in 8578 patients with T2DM in the placebo arm of DECLARE-TIMI 58 (Dapagliflozin Effect on Cardiovascular Events-Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 58). The relative and absolute risk reductions in HHF with the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor dapagliflozin were assessed by baseline HHF risk. RESULTS:Five clinical variables were independent risk predictors of HHF: prior heart failure, history of atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio. A simple integer-based score (0-7 points) using these predictors identified a >20-fold gradient of HHF risk (P for trend <0.001) in both the derivation and validation cohorts, with C indices of 0.81 and 0.78, respectively. Although relative risk reductions with dapagliflozin were similar for patients across the risk scores (25%-34%), absolute risk reductions were greater in those at higher baseline risk (1-sided P for trend=0.04), with high-risk (2 points) and very-high-risk (?3 points) patients having 1.5% and 2.7% absolute reductions in Kaplan-Meier estimates of HHF risk at 4 years, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Risk stratification using a novel clinical risk score for HHF in patients with T2DM identifies patients at higher risk for HHF who derive greater absolute benefit from sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibition.

Project description:AimsSodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors have now been evaluated for the treatment of heart failure in several placebo-controlled randomized controlled trials (RCTs) across various ejection fraction ranges, but these trials were powered for composite outcomes rather than individual clinical endpoints. We therefore performed a meta-analysis to assess their safety and efficacy on all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and heart failure hospitalizations.Methods and resultsWe performed a prospectively registered random-effects meta-analysis of all RCTs comparing SGLT-2 inhibitors to placebo in patients with heart failure. The pre-specified primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints included cardiovascular mortality, heart failure hospitalizations, and the composite of cardiovascular mortality or heart failure hospitalization. Four trials with 15 684 patients were eligible. The SGLT-2 inhibitor tested was empagliflozin in two trials, dapagliflozin in one trial, and sotagliflozin in one trial. The weighted-mean follow-up was 20.0 months. The hazard ratio (HR) for all-cause mortality was 0.91, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.82-1.01, P = 0.071. There was a 12% reduction in cardiovascular mortality (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.79 to 0.97, P = 0.012), and a 30% reduction in heart failure hospitalization (HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.64 to 0.77, P < 0.001).ConclusionSGLT-2 inhibitors significantly reduced cardiovascular mortality and heart failure hospitalizations in patients with heart failure. The effect appears consistent across three drugs studied in four trials. SGLT-2 inhibitors should become standard care for patients with heart failure.

Project description:BackgroundNearly half of patients with heart failure (HF) have preserved ejection fraction (EF) and the mortality and morbidity of patients with HF with preserved EF (HFpEF) are high. Patients with HFpEF are often elderly and their primary chronic symptom is severe exercise intolerance that results in a reduced quality of life. Thus, improvement of exercise capacity and quality of life presents another important clinical outcome in HFpEF patients. Recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses of RCTs reported that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors improved cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in patients with HF with reduced EF. Although the effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors in HFpEF patients have been examined in multiple RCTs, results are inconsistent due partly to limited power. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis of RCTs on the effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors in HFpEF patients.Methods and resultsThe search of electronic databases identified 11 RCTs including 10,845 patients. In pooled analyses, SGLT-2 inhibitors reduced the risk of a composite of hospitalization for HF and CV death (hazard ratio [95 % CI] = 0.78 [0.70, 0.87], Pfix < 0.001). SGLT-2 inhibitors significantly increased 6-minute walk distance (weighted mean difference [95 % CI] = 18.0 [6.8, 29.3] m; Pfix = 0.002) and the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Total Symptom Score (weighted mean difference [95 % CI] = 2.57 [0.19, 4.96] points; Prandom = 0.035) and reduced plasma NT-pro B-type natriuretic peptide levels (weighted mean difference [95 % CI] = -60.16 [-82.99, -37.33] pg/ml; Pfix < 0.001) compared with control.ConclusionThe present meta-analysis suggests that SGLT-2 inhibitors may be beneficial for HFpEF patients, especially in diabetic patients.

Project description:Diabetes and heart failure (HF) are closely linked, with one causing a worse prognosis in the other. The majority of anti-hyperglycaemic agents primarily reduce risk of ischaemic microvascular events without targeting the mechanisms involved for diabetes cardiomyopathy and HF. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have emerged as a novel class of glucose-lowering agents that have consistently reduced HF hospitalisations, unlike other agents. The authors discuss the current evidence and highlight possible future directions for the role of SGLT2 inhibitors in HF prevention.
