Article Synopsis
- SGLT2 inhibitors have been linked to reduced incidences of heart failure (HF) and related hospitalizations, but the exact mechanisms behind these benefits in invasive heart measurements are not well understood.
- A systematic review of randomized trials using PRISMA guidelines examined the impact of SGLT2i on heart function, measuring hemodynamics before and after treatment through right heart catheterization.
- The analysis of 3 studies involving 145 patients showed that SGLT2i significantly lowered pulmonary capillary wedge pressure at rest and during exercise, indicating potential improvements in heart function, although the effect on mean pulmonary artery pressure was not statistically significant.
Global T-wave inversion on electrocardiogram: what is the differential?
Rev Cardiovasc Med
August 2014
Global T-wave inversion as seen on electrocardiogram is associated with a variety of pathophysiologic states, including cardiac, pulmonary, and cerebrovascular disease, and acute electrolyte disorders. Although some of these are chronic conditions, others are acute emergencies, necessitating early diagnosis and treatment. This article reviews and provides examples of possible etiologies of global T-wave inversion on electrocardiogram.
