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...

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.

Can we go beyond surrogates?
Two years ago, data presented at the annual American Diabetes Association (ADA) meeting in New Orleans showed a marked decrease in deaths, especially those due to cardiovascular disease, with the use of empagliflozin. Two major questions have been asked: (i) was the result a fluke; and (ii) was it a class effect, or was it specific to the agent used? The hope that both questions would be answered by a second study has been answered: the conclusions of EMPA‐REG were not an anomaly and it is a class effect, not one caused by a specific drug. Importantly, do these studies require us to alter our algorithms for the treatment...

Cardiovascular Outcomes and Risks After Initiation of a Sodium Glucose Co-Transporter 2 Inhibitor: Results From the EASEL Population-Based Cohort Study.
Conclusions : In this high-risk cohort, initiation of SGLT2i was associated with lower ACM, HHF, and MACE and higher BKA risk. Findings underscore the potential benefit and risks to be aware of when initiating SGLT2i. It remains unclear whether the BKA risk extends across the class of medication as the study was not powered to make comparisons among individual treatments.

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...

Cardiovascular outcomes with canagliflozin - is it on the CANVAS?
Authors: Doggrell S
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors (the 'gliflozins') promote the excretion of glucose from the kidney to lower HbA1c. Empagliflozin was the first gliflozin shown to improve cardiovascular and renal outcomes in subjects with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Areas covered: In the Canagliflozin Cardiovascular Assessment Study (CANVAS) Program, there were improvements in the primary cardiovascular and exploratory renal outcomes with canagliflozin, compared to placebo. The safety outcome finding, which was of most interest, was that there was a higher...

Canagliflozin and cardiovascular and renal events in type 2 diabetes.
This study expands the scope of SGLT-2 inhibitor therapy to prevent cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients beyond those with preexisting cardiovascular disease studied in the previous empagliflozin study, raising the question as to whether SGLT-2 inhibitor therapy should be considered appropriate for most, if not all, type 2 diabetes patients, not only to control hyperglycemia but also to reduce cardiovascular and renal events.

The kidney and cardiovascular outcome trials
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects a substantial minority of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Analysis of US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) datasets from 2007 through 2012 showed Stage 3 or worse disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <60 mL/min per 1.73 m2) in nearly one in five patients, with increasing age, blood pressure, obesity, and levels of glycemia all associated with higher likelihood of Stage 3 or worse CKD, comparable to findings from surveys from many other areas, which also show micro‐ or macroalbuminuria to be present in one‐sixth to one‐third of diab...

New antihyperglycaemic agents and cardiovascular disease: let's be optimistic
Purpose of review
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) substantially increases mortality in diabetes mellitus. This narrative review highlights recent research on the putative associations between dipeptyl peptidase 4 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) and several cardiovascular risk factors.
Recent findings
New antihyperglycaemic agents favourably modulate several CVD risk factors, including fasting and postprandial plasma glucose levels, body weight, blood pressure, lipids, microalbuminuria, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, serum uric a...

Treatment of Diabetes in Patients with Heart Failure
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThis review aims to summarize and discuss heart failure outcomes for current glucose-lowering agents in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Recent FindingsCurrent regulations require cardiovascular outcomes trials for new glucose-lowering therapies to establish that there is no unacceptable increase in cardiovascular risk prior to approval. These cardiovascular outcomes trials include glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors. Overall, 87,162 patients have been studied in 10 published cardiovascular outcomes trials...
