SGLT2 inhibitors with cardiovascular benefits: transforming clinical care in Type2 diabetes mellitus
Persons with type2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at higher risk than persons without diabetes of developing atherosclerotic vascular diseases and events including myocardial infarction and stroke, as well as complications such as chronic kidney disease [1,2]. Optimal management of their diabetes and its comorbidities is required to address the increased risk of cardiovascular and related diseases [3]. Certain sodium –glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have recently been shown to improve cardiovascular outcomes in high cardiovascular-risk individuals with T2DM, with empagliflozin being the first to demonstrate a r...

Canagliflozin for Primary and Secondary Prevention of Cardiovascular Events: Results From the CANVAS Program (Canagliflozin Cardiovascular Assessment Study).
CONCLUSIONS : Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and prior cardiovascular events had higher rates of cardiovascular outcomes compared with the primary prevention patients. Canagliflozin reduced cardiovascular and renal outcomes with no statistical evidence of heterogeneity of the treatment effect across the primary and secondary prevention groups. Additional studies will provide further insights into the effects of canagliflozin in these patient populations. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION : URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Benefits of SGLT2 Inhibitors beyond glycemic control - A focus on metabolic, cardiovascular, and renal outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: SGLT2 inhibitors demonstrate some positive metabolic effects. In addition, empagliflozin specifically has demonstrated reduction in cardiovascular events and delay in the progression of kidney disease in patients with T2DM and a history of cardiovascular disease. Further data is needed to assess if this is a class effect. PMID: 28814245 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Update on SGLT2 Inhibitors—New Data Released at the American Diabetes Association
Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are one of the newer classes of antiglycemic agents approved for the management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Due to their unique mechanism of action, SGLT2 inhibitors have shown to be beneficial beyond glucose control. The improvement in cardiovascular (CV) outcomes was first observed in the landmark EMPA-REG OUTCOMES study. Following these results, numerous CV outcome trials were designed to identify whether the beneficial CV and renal effects observed with empagliflozin are unique or a drug class effect. The benefit of SGLT2 inhibition was confirmed by the...
