Background: Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) commonly leads to heart failure but has traditionally been an exclusion criterion in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i); therefore, the effects of these drugs in this population remain undocumented. In light of recent studies, this meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effect of SGLT2i on the prognosis of patients with ATTR-CM.
Methods: A comprehensive search of Medline, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library was conducted up to November 17, 2024.

Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have shown benefits in improving cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF) and may mitigate symptom progression in myocardial infarction (MI). However, their effectiveness in patients with type 2 diabetes and MI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unclear.
Methods: To identify eligible studies, a comprehensive search of electronic databases, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus and Embase, was conducted from inception until May 2024.

This article discusses the study by Grubić Rotkvić on the mechanisms of action of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and heart failure (HF). T2DM and HF are highly comorbid, with a significantly increased prevalence of HF in patients with T2DM. SGLT2i exhibit potential in reducing hospitalization rates for HF and cardiovascular mortality through multiple mechanisms, including improving blood glucose control, promoting urinary sodium excretion, reducing sympathetic nervous system activity, lowering both preload and afterload on the heart, alleviating inflammation and oxidative stress, enhancing endothelial function, improving myocardial energy metabolism, and stabilizing cardiac ion homeostasis.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors represent a cutting-edge class of oral antidiabetic therapeutics that operate through selective inhibition of glucose reabsorption in proximal renal tubules, consequently augmenting urinary glucose excretion and attenuating blood glucose levels. Extensive clinical investigations have demonstrated their profound cardiovascular efficacy. Parallel basic science research has elucidated the mechanistic pathways through which diverse SGLT-2 inhibitors beneficially modulate pulmonary vascular cells and arterial remodeling.
