Background: As a novel oral anti-hyperglycemic agent, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) have been demonstrated to improve cardiovascular outcomes in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the mechanism responsible for the beneficial effects remains unclear. Recently, extensive studies have demonstrated a close relationship between elevated fasting triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the risk of AMI.

Background: Our meta-analysis fills gaps by assessing sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors' renal outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients including long-term effects and the subgroup analyses of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) values and follow-up times.

Methods: The literature search of relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted in Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Central from the inception to 8 June 2023 on patients with CKD treated with SGLT2 inhibitors. We selected medical subject heading (MeSH) terms and free text terms associated with gliflozin and RCT.

: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, initially designed for type 2 diabetes, promote glucose excretion and lower blood glucose. Newer analogs like empagliflozin and dapagliflozin improve cardiovascular outcomes through mechanisms other than glycemic control, including blood pressure reduction and anti-inflammatory effects. Given the high cardiovascular risk present in diabetes, our study aims to emphasize the cardioprotective benefits of SGLT-2 inhibitors as a preventive therapy for heart failure (HF) in high-risk T2DM patients.

Article Synopsis
  • Empagliflozin may reduce the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) by preventing the loss of retinal pericytes, but its effectiveness compared to DPP4 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is not well established.
  • A study was conducted using U.S. insurance claims data from 2014 to 2019, focusing on adults with T2D who were newly prescribed either empagliflozin or a DPP4 inhibitor, and looking at the incidence of nonproliferative DR and its progression.
  • Results showed that among matched patient pairs, empagliflozin's impact on the rates of incident DR and progression was analyzed, with significant data collected over an average

Article Synopsis
  • * The study identified seasonal trends in adverse events like dehydration, cerebral infarction, urinary tract infections, and ketoacidosis linked to six SGLT2 inhibitors prescribed in Japan.
  • * Findings showed dehydration-related issues were most common in summer and winter, with a peak for cerebral infarction in February, suggesting healthcare professionals should be vigilant about dehydration risks throughout the year.
