Association of SGLT2 Inhibitors With Risk of Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke in Patients With and Without Type 2 Diabetes: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Abstract: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have well-documented effects on reducing hospitalization for heart failure and cardiovascular mortality, although the effect on atrial fibrillation (AF) has not been comprehensively investigated. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to assess the association between SGLT2 inhibitors and AF risk by systematically searching PubMed, Embase, and ClinicalTrials.gov. Two investigators independently identified randomized controlled trials, which compared SGLT2 inhibitors with control in patients with type 2 diabetes, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease. Prima...

Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients Initiating First-Line Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes With Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors Versus Metformin : A Cohort Study
CONCLUSION: As first-line T2D treatment, initiators receiving SGLT-2i showed a similar risk for MI/stroke/mortality, lower risk for HHF/mortality and HHF, and a similar safety profile except for an increased risk for genital infections compared with those receiving metformin.PRIMARY FUNDING SOURCE: Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.PMID:35605236 | DOI:10.7326/M21-4012

EMPA-REG and Other Cardiovascular Outcome Trials of Glucose-lowering Agents: Implications for Future Treatment Strategies in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Abstract During the last decade, the armamentarium for glucose-lowering drugs has increased enormously by the development of DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors, allowing individualization of antidiabetic therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Some combinations can now be used without an increased risk for severe hypoglycemia and weight gain. Following a request of the US Food and Drug Administration, many large cardiovascular (CV) outcome studies have been performed in patients with longstanding disease and established CV disease. In the majority of CV outcome studies, CV ris...

Incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in type  2 diabetes mellitus patients after initiation of glucose‐lowering agents: A population‐based community study from the Shizuoka Kokuho database
ConclusionsThe incidence of HHF was similar to that of stroke. A significant portion of our cohort met the inclusion criteria for major randomized clinical trials for SGLT2i, and estimated reduction in the HHF events was substantial.

Effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors on cardiovascular events, death, and major safety outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Publication date: Available online 18 March 2016 Source:The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Author(s): Jason H Y Wu, Celine Foote, Juuso Blomster, Tadashi Toyama, Vlado Perkovic, Johan Sundström, Bruce Neal Background In patients with type 2 diabetes, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are known to reduce glucose concentrations, blood pressure, and weight, but to increase LDL cholesterol and the incidence of urogenital infections. Protection against cardiovascular events has also been reported, as have possible increased risks of adverse outcomes such as ketoacidosis and bone fracture. We a...

SGLT2 Inhibitors and Cardiovascular Risk: Lessons Learned From the EMPA-REG OUTCOME Study
Although cardiovascular (CV) mortality is the principal cause of death in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), reduction of plasma glucose concentration has little effect on CV disease (CVD) risk. Thus, novel strategies to reduce CVD risk in T2DM patients are needed. The recently published BI 10773 (Empagliflozin) Cardiovascular Outcome Event Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients (EMPA-REG OUTCOME) study demonstrated that in T2DM patients with high CVD risk empagliflozin reduced the primary major adverse cardiac event end point (CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke) by 14%. This beneficial eff...

Cardiovascular safety outcomes of new antidiabetic therapies.
CONCLUSION: A review of cardiovascular safety outcomes for new antidiabetic agents found that saxagliptin and alogliptin were associated with an increase in hospitalization for HF. The data for empagliflozin, liraglutide, and semaglutide showed a reduction in cardiovascular events and death or a neutral effect on cardiovascular endpoints.

The effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on cardiovascular events and renal function.
Abstract Introduction Sodium-glucose co-transporters-2inhibitors have emerged as a very promising antidiabetic drug class, with data from the two available cardiovascular trials of this class suggesting remarkable benefits in terms of cardiovascular events, total mortality and renal outcomes. Areas covered Data point toward clinically meaningful benefits from SGLT-2inhibition on a variety of cardiovascular risk factors. Empagliflozin, and to a lesser extent canagliflozin, resulted in significant reductions of an abundance of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity endpoints. SGLT-2inhibitors were also found to redu...
