Do all gliflozins reduce stroke in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and impaired renal function?
We have read with great interest a study of meta-analysis1 recently published in Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases. In that study1 Barkas and colleagues drew their main conclusion that sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce the risk of total stroke in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and impaired renal function (IRF), which was based on the result of meta-analysis on the outcome of total stroke (including ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke) in the subgroup of patients with T2DM and IRF (Fig.

Effects of Sodium/Glucose Cotransporter Inhibitors on Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke: A Meta-Analysis
Globally, the number of people estimated to have diabetes mellitus (DM) in 2019 was 463 million, and the estimated number is expected to rise to 578 million people by 2030.1 DM is also associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), 2 and has shown to be an independent risk factor for stroke in patients with AF.3 A meta-analysis of 102 studies further showed that patients with diabetes have a higher risk of all subtypes of stroke (ischemic, hemorrhagic and unclassified stroke).4 This has generated great interest in anti-hyperglycemic agents and their ability to reduce the cardiovascular complications of diabetes.

Sodium Variability and Probability of Vasospasm in Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Vasospasm is a well-known complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) that generally occurs 4 –14 days post-hemorrhage. Based on American Heart Association guidelines, the current understanding is that hyponatremic episodes may lead to vasospasm. Therefore, we sought to determine the association between repeated serum sodium levels of aSAH patients and its relationship to radiographic vaso spasm.
