Abstract
Obesity and chronic kidney disease are two ongoing progressive clinical pandemics of major public health and clinical care significance. Because of their growing prevalence, chronic indolent course and consequent complications both these conditions place significant burden on the health care delivery system especially in developed countries like the United States. Beyond the chance coexistence of both of these conditions in the same patient based on high prevalence it is now apparent that obesity is associated with and likely has a direct causal role in the onset, progression and severity of chronic kidney disease. The causes and underlying pathophysiology of this are myriad, complicated and multi-faceted. In this review, continuing the theme of this special edition of the journal on " The Cross roads between Endocrinology and Nephrology" we review the epidemiology of obesity related chronic kidney disease (ORCKD), and its various underlying causes and pathophysiology. In addition, we delve into the consequent comorbidities and complications associated with ORCKD with particular emphasis on the cardio metabolic consequences and then review the current body of evidence for available strategies for chronic kidney disease modulation in ORCKD as well as the potential unique role of weight reduction and management strategies in its improvement and risk reduction.

Abstract
The introduction of chemotherapy agents has significantly transformed cancer treatment, with anthracyclines being one of the most commonly used drugs. While these agents have proven to be highly effective against various types of cancers, they come with complications, including neurotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and cardiotoxicity. Among these side effects, cardiotoxicity is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality, with anthracyclines being the primary culprit. Chemotherapy medications have various mechanisms that can lead to cardiac injury. Hence, numerous studies have been conducted to decrease the cardiotoxicity of these treatments. Combination therapy with beta-blockers, Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin receptor blockers have effectively reduced such outcomes. However, a definitive preventive strategy is yet to be established. Meanwhile, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors lower blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes by reducing its re-absorption in the kidneys. They are thus considered potent drugs for glycemic control and reduction of cardiovascular risks. Recent studies have shown that SGLT-2 inhibitors are crucial in preventing chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity. They enhance heart cell viability, prevent degenerative changes, stimulate autophagy, and reduce cell death. This drug class also reduces inflammation by inhibiting reactive oxygen species and inflammatory cytokine production. Moreover, it can not only reverse the harmful effects of anticancer agents on the heart structure but also enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy by minimizing potential consequences on the heart. In conclusion, SGLT-2 inhibitors hold promise as a therapeutic strategy for protecting cancer patients from chemotherapy-induced heart damage and improving cardiovascular outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium glucose linked transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibition not only reduces morbidity and mortality in patients with diagnosed heart failure but also prevents the development of heart failure hospitalization in those at risk. While studies to date have focused on the role of SGLT2 inhibition in left ventricular failure, whether this drug class is efficacious in the treatment and prevention of right heart failure has not been explored. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that SGLT2 inhibition would reduce the structural, functional, and molecular responses to pressure overload of the right ventricle. METHODS Thirteen-week-old Fischer F344 rats underwent pulmonary artery banding (PAB) or sham surgery prior to being randomized to receive either the SGLT2 inhibitor: dapagliflozin (0.5 mg/kg/day) or vehicle by oral gavage. After 6 weeks of treatment, animals underwent transthoracic echocardiography and invasive hemodynamic studies. Animals were then terminated, and their hearts harvested for structural and molecular analyses. RESULTS PAB induced features consistent with a compensatory response to increased right ventricular (RV) afterload with elevated mass, end systolic pressure, collagen content, and alteration in calcium handling protein expression (all p < 0.05 when compared to sham + vehicle). Dapagliflozin reduced RV mass, including both wet and dry weight as well as normalizing the protein expression of SERCA 2A, phospho-AMPK and LC3I/II ratio expression (all p < 0.05). SIGNIFICANCE Dapagliflozin reduces the structural, functional, and molecular manifestations of right ventricular pressure overload. Whether amelioration of these early changes in the RV may ultimately lead to a reduction in RV failure remains to be determined.

Comparative cardiovascular benefits of individual SGLT2 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes and heart failure: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1216160. [PMID: 38179304 PMCID: PMC10765518 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1216160] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Background In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and a history of heart failure (HF), sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have demonstrated cardiovascular (CV) benefits. However, the comparative efficacy of individual SGLT2is remains uncertain. This network meta-analysis (NMA) compared the efficacy and safety of five SGLT2is (canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, ertugliflozin, and sotagliflozin) on CV outcomes in these patients. Materials and methods PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched up to September 23, 2022, to identify all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SGLT2is to placebo in T2D patients with HF. The main outcomes included composite CV death/heart failure hospitalization (HFH), HFH, CV death, all-cause mortality, and adverse events. Pairwise and NMA approaches were applied. Results Our analysis included 11 RCTs with a total of 20,438 patients with T2D and HF. All SGLT2is significantly reduced HFH compared to standard of care (SoC) alone. "Add-on" SGLT2is, except ertugliflozin, significantly reduced composite CV death/HFH relative to SoC alone. Moreover, canagliflozin had lower composite CV death/HFH compared to dapagliflozin. Based on the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA), the top-ranked SGLT2is for reducing HFH were canagliflozin (95.5%), sotagliflozin (66.0%), and empagliflozin (57.2%). Head-to-head comparisons found no significant differences between individual SGLT2is in reducing CV death. "Add-on" SGLT2is reduced all-cause mortality compared with SoC alone, although only dapagliflozin was statistically significant. No SGLT2is were significantly associated with serious adverse events. A sensitivity analysis focusing on HF-specific trials found that dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, and sotagliflozin significantly reduced composite CV death/HFH, consistent with the main analysis. However, no significant differences were identified from their head-to-head comparisons in the NMA. The SUCRA indicated that sotagliflozin had the highest probability of reducing composite CV death/HFH (97.6%), followed by empagliflozin (58.4%) and dapagliflozin (44.0%). Conclusion SGLT2is significantly reduce the composite CV death/HFH outcome. Among them, canagliflozin may be considered the preferred treatment for patients with diabetes and a history of heart failure, but it may also be associated with an increased risk of any adverse events compared to other SGLT2is. However, a sensitivity analysis focusing on HF-specific trials identified sotagliflozin as the most likely agent to reduce CV death/HFH, followed by empagliflozin and dapagliflozin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The benefit of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in reducing the occurrence rate of adverse cardiac and renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes has been well described in randomized trials. Whether this benefit extends to patients at the most severe end of the disease spectrum requiring admission to the ICU remains to be examined. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTING Data were obtained from a territory-wide clinical registry in Hong Kong (Clinical Data Analysis and Reporting System). PATIENTS All adult patients (age ≥ 18 yr) with type 2 diabetes and newly prescribed SGLT2 inhibitors or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS After 1:2 propensity score matching, a total of 27,972 patients (10,308 SGLT2 inhibitors vs 17,664 DPP-4 inhibitors) were included in the final analysis. The mean age was 59 ± 11 years, and 17,416 (62.3%) were male. The median follow-up period was 2.9 years. The use of SGLT2 inhibitors was associated with decreased ICU admission (286 [2.8%] vs 645 [3.7%]; hazard ratio [HR], 0.79; 95% CI, 0.69-0.91; p = 0.001) and lower risks of all-cause mortality (315 [3.1%] vs 1,327 [7.5%]; HR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.38-0.49; p < 0.001), compared with DPP-4 inhibitors. The severity of illness upon ICU admission by Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation IV-predicted risk of death was also lower in SGLT2 inhibitors users. Admissions and mortality due to sepsis were lower in SGLT2 inhibitor users compared with DPP-4 inhibitor users (admissions for sepsis: 45 [0.4%] vs 134 [0.8%]; p = 0.001 and mortality: 59 [0.6%] vs 414 [2.3%]; p < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS In patients with type 2 diabetes, SGLT2 inhibitors were independently associated with lower rates of ICU admission and all-cause mortality across various disease categories.

Circulation 2023; 148:354-372. [PMID: 37486998 PMCID: PMC10358443 DOI: 10.1161/circulationaha.123.064346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 07/26/2023]
Abstract
SGLT2 (sodium-glucose cotransporter 2) inhibitors interfere with the reabsorption of glucose and sodium in the early proximal renal tubule, but the magnitude and duration of any ensuing natriuretic or diuretic effect are the result of an interplay between the degree of upregulation of SGLT2 and sodium-hydrogen exchanger 3, the extent to which downstream compensatory tubular mechanisms are activated, and (potentially) the volume set point in individual patients. A comprehensive review and synthesis of available studies reveals several renal response patterns with substantial variation across studies and clinical settings. However, the common observation is an absence of a large acute or chronic diuresis or natriuresis with these agents, either when given alone or combined with other diuretics. This limited response results from the fact that renal compensation to these drugs is rapid and nearly complete within a few days or weeks, preventing progressive volume losses. Nevertheless, the finding that fractional excretion of glucose and lithium (the latter being a marker of proximal sodium reabsorption) persists during long-term treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors indicates that pharmacological tolerance to the effects of these drugs at the level of the proximal tubule does not meaningfully occur. This persistent proximal tubular effect of SGLT2 inhibitors can be hypothesized to produce a durable improvement in the internal set point for volume homeostasis, which may become clinically important during times of fluid expansion. However, it is difficult to know whether a treatment-related change in the volume set point actually occurs or contributes to the effect of these drugs to reduce the risk of major heart failure events. SGLT2 inhibitors exert cardioprotective effects by a direct effect on cardiomyocytes that is independent of the presence of or binding to SGLT2 or the actions of these drugs on the proximal renal tubule. Nevertheless, changes in the volume set point mediated by SGLT2 inhibitors might potentially act cooperatively with the direct favorable molecular and cellular effects of these drugs on cardiomyocytes to mediate their benefits on the development and clinical course of heart failure.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a relatively novel drug class that most cardiologists are becoming familiar with. By contrasting glucose reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron, SGLT2 inhibition results in glycosuria with improved glycemic control. Although originally introduced as anti-diabetic medications, the cardiovascular effects of SGLT2i have progressively emerged, leading them to become one of the four pillars for the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) according to the 2021 guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology. Also, two recent randomized trials have demonstrated SGLT2i as the first compound with proven prognostic impact in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), setting a milestone in the treatment for this condition. While the exact pathogenic mechanisms mediating the substantial reduction in cardiovascular death and heart failure (HF) hospitalizations are still controversial, there is growing clinical evidence on the efficacy and safety of SGLT2i in various subsets of patients with HF. As known, heart failure is a complex and heterogeneous clinical syndrome with a magnitude of phenotypes and a variety of underlying hemodynamic and physiological aspects which cannot be fully incorporated into the traditional left ventricular ejection fraction based classification adopted in clinical trials. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the cardiovascular benefits and indications of SGLT2i across different HF patterns and to highlight current gaps in knowledge that should be addressed by future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors have been demonstrated to promote reverse cardiac remodeling in people with diabetes or heart failure. Although it has been theorized that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors might afford similar benefits in people without diabetes or prevalent heart failure, this has not been evaluated. We sought to determine whether sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibition with empagliflozin leads to a decrease in left ventricular (LV) mass in people without type 2 diabetes or significant heart failure. METHODS Between April 2021 and January 2022, 169 individuals, 40 to 80 years of age, without diabetes but with risk factors for adverse cardiac remodeling were randomly assigned to empagliflozin (10 mg/d; n=85) or placebo (n=84) for 6 months. The primary outcome was the 6-month change in LV mass indexed (LVMi) to baseline body surface area as measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Other measures included 6-month changes in LV end-diastolic and LV end-systolic volumes indexed to baseline body surface area and LV ejection fraction. RESULTS Among the 169 participants (141 men [83%]; mean age, 59.3±10.5 years), baseline LVMi was 63.2±17.9 g/m2 and 63.8±14.0 g/m2 for the empagliflozin- and placebo-assigned groups, respectively. The difference (95% CI) in LVMi at 6 months in the empagliflozin group versus placebo group adjusted for baseline LVMi was -0.30 g/m2 (-2.1 to 1.5 g/m2; P=0.74). Median baseline (interquartile range) NT-proBNP (N-terminal-pro B-type natriuretic peptide) was 51 pg/mL (20-105 pg/mL) and 55 pg/mL (21-132 pg/mL) for the empagliflozin- and placebo-assigned groups, respectively. The 6-month treatment effect of empagliflozin versus placebo (95% CI) on blood pressure and NT-proBNP (adjusted for baseline values) were -1.3 mm Hg (-5.2 to 2.6 mm Hg; P=0.52), 0.69 mm Hg (-1.9 to 3.3 mm Hg; P=0.60), and -6.1 pg/mL (-37.0 to 24.8 pg/mL; P=0.70) for systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and NT-proBNP, respectively. No clinically meaningful between-group differences in LV volumes (diastolic and systolic indexed to baseline body surface area) or ejection fraction were observed. No difference in adverse events was noted between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Among people with neither diabetes nor significant heart failure but with risk factors for adverse cardiac remodeling, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibition with empagliflozin did not result in a meaningful reduction in LVMi after 6 months.

Abstract
Albuminuria, a hallmark of diabetic nephropathy, reflects not only injury and dysfunction of the filtration apparatus, but is also affected by altered glomerular hemodynamics and hyperfiltration, as well as by the inability of renal tubular cells to fully retrieve filtered albumin. Albuminuria further plays a role in the progression of diabetic nephropathy, and the suppression of glomerular albumin leak is a key factor in its prevention. Although microalbuminuria is a classic manifestation of diabetic nephropathy, often progressing to macroalbuminuria or overt proteinuria over time, it does not always precede renal function loss in diabetes. The various components leading to diabetic albuminuria and their associations are herein reviewed, and the physiologic rationale and efficacy of therapeutic interventions that reduce glomerular hyperfiltration and proteinuria are discussed. With these perspectives, we propose that these measures should be initiated early, before microalbuminuria develops, as substantial renal injury may already be present in the absence of proteinuria. We further advocate that the inhibition of the renin–angiotensin axis or of sodium–glucose co-transport likely permits the administration of a normal recommended or even high-protein diet, highly desirable for sarcopenic diabetic patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this review is to summarize existing research investigating the use of sodium glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) while highlighting potential strategies to mitigate the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). RECENT FINDINGS SGLT2 inhibitors have been studied in patients with T1DM in phase 3 clinical trials such as the inTandem, DEPICT, and EASE trials, which demonstrated consistent reductions in HbA1c. Secondary analyses of these trials have also reported potential kidney protective effects that are independent of improved glycemic control. However, trials in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have found an increased risk of DKA with SGLT2 inhibitors, a serious concern in patients with T1DM. SGLT2 inhibitors provide cardiovascular benefits and kidney protection in patients with T2DM and are a promising therapeutic option for patients with T1DM due to overlapping pathophysiological mechanisms. However, SGLT2 inhibitors increase the risk of DKA, and there is currently a lack of research investigating the beneficial effects of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with T1DM. Preventative measure for DKA would have to be implemented and the risks would need to be carefully balanced with the benefits offered by SGLT2 inhibitors. Additional research will also be required to determine the kidney protective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with T1DM and diabetic kidney disease and to quantify the risk of DKA after the implementation of preventative measures, proper patient education, and ketone monitoring.

Abstract
Introduction Tubulointerstitial damage in diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is poorly captured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria. Urine biomarkers of kidney health may better elucidate disease progression in persons with diabetes and CKD. Methods Per case-cohort design, we randomly selected a subcohort of 560 study participants of the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study from 1092 adults with diabetes and baseline eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and registered a total of 161 end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) cases (n = 93 from the subcohort; n = 68 from outside the subcohort) during 4.3 ± 2.7 years mean follow-up. We measured urine biomarkers of kidney tubule injury (kidney injury molecule-1 [KIM-1]), inflammation and fibrosis (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 [MCP-1]), repair (chitinase-3-like protein 1 [YKL-40]), and tubule function, including reabsorption (alpha-1-microglobulin [α1m]) and synthetic capacity (epidermal growth factor [EGF] and uromodulin [UMOD]). Weighted Cox regression models estimated ESKD risk adjusting for demographics, ESKD risk factors, and baseline eGFR and urine albumin. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression identified a subset of biomarkers most strongly associated with ESKD. Results At baseline, subcohort participants had mean age of 70 ± 9 years, mean eGFR of 40 ±13 ml/min per 1.73 m2, and median urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio of 33 (interquartile range 10-213) mg/g. Adjusting for baseline eGFR and albuminuria, each 2-fold higher urine KIM-1 (hazard ratio = 1.43 [95% CI: 1.17-1.75]), α1m (hazard ratio = 1.47 [1.19-1.82]), and MCP-1 (hazard ratio = 1.27 [1.06-1.53]) were independently associated with ESKD. LASSO retained KIM-1 and α1m for associations with ESKD. Conclusion Among adults with diabetes and eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2, higher urine KIM-1, α1m, and MCP-1 are independently associated with incident ESKD, providing insight into kidney disease progression in persons with diabetes and CKD.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors exert hypoglycemic and diuretic effects by inhibiting the absorption of sodium and glucose from the proximal tubule. Currently available data indicate that SGLT2 inhibitors transiently enhance urinary sodium excretion and urinary volume. When combined with loop diuretics, SGLT2 inhibitors exert a synergistic natriuretic effect. The favorable diuretic profile of SGLT2 inhibitors may confer benefits to volume management in patients with heart failure but this natriuretic effect may not be the dominant mechanism for the superior long-term outcomes observed with these agents in patients with heart failure. The first part of this review explores the causes of transient natriuresis and the diuretic mechanisms of SGLT2 inhibitors. The second part provides an overview of the synergistic effects of combining SGLT2 inhibitors with loop diuretics, and the third part summarizes the mechanisms of cardiovascular protection associated with the diuretic effects of SGLT2 inhibitors.

Blood and Urine Biomarkers Predicting Worsening Kidney Function in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Post-Acute Coronary Syndrome: An Analysis from the EXAMINE Trial. Am J Nephrol 2021; 52:969-976.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Worsening kidney function (WKF) is frequent among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and a recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and is associated with a poor prognosis. An accurate prediction of WKF is clinically important. AIMS Using data from the Cardiovascular Outcomes Study of Alogliptin in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Acute Coronary Syndrome trial including patients with T2D and a recent ACS, and a large biomarker panel incorporating proteins measured both in blood and urine, we aim to determine those with best performance for WKF prediction. METHODS WKF was defined as a ≥40% estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) drop from baseline, eGFR <15 mL/min, or dialysis. Mixed-effects and time-updated Cox models were used. RESULTS 5,131 patients were included from whom 222 (4.3%) developed at least one WKF episode over a median follow-up of 18 months. Patients who developed WKF were more frequently women, had longer diabetes duration, a more frequent heart failure history, higher anemia prevalence, and impaired kidney function. In multivariable models including all variables (clinical and biomarkers) independently associated with WKF with a p value ≤0.0001, blood kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) was (by far) the variable with strongest WKF association, followed by anemia. KIM-1 alone provided good discrimination for WKF prediction (area under the curve = 0.73). Patients in the high KIM-1-derived risk tertile had a 6.7-fold higher risk of any WKF than patients classified as low risk. In time-updated Cox models, the occurrence of WKF was independently associated with a higher risk of death: adjusted hazard ratio = 4.93 (3.06-7.96), p value <0.0001. CONCLUSION Blood KIM-1 was the biomarker with the strongest association with WKF.

Abstract
SGLT2 inhibitors are antihyperglycemic drugs that protect kidneys and the heart of patients with or without type 2 diabetes and preserved or reduced kidney function from failing. The involved protective mechanisms include blood glucose-dependent and -independent mechanisms: SGLT2 inhibitors prevent both hyper- and hypoglycemia, with expectedly little net effect on HbA1C. Metabolic adaptations to induced urinary glucose loss include reduced fat mass and more ketone bodies as additional fuel. SGLT2 inhibitors lower glomerular capillary hypertension and hyperfiltration, thereby reducing the physical stress on the filtration barrier, albuminuria, and the oxygen demand for tubular reabsorption. This improves cortical oxygenation, which, together with lesser tubular gluco-toxicity, may preserve tubular function and glomerular filtration rate in the long term. SGLT2 inhibitors may mimic systemic hypoxia and stimulate erythropoiesis, which improves organ oxygen delivery. SGLT2 inhibitors are proximal tubule and osmotic diuretics that reduce volume retention and blood pressure and preserve heart function, potentially in part by overcoming the resistance to diuretics and atrial-natriuretic-peptide and inhibiting Na-H exchangers and sympathetic tone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy and safety of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors such as sotagliflozin in preventing cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes with chronic kidney disease with or without albuminuria have not been well studied. METHODS We conducted a multicenter, double-blind trial in which patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (glycated hemoglobin level, ≥7%), chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate, 25 to 60 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 of body-surface area), and risks for cardiovascular disease were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive sotagliflozin or placebo. The primary end point was changed during the trial to the composite of the total number of deaths from cardiovascular causes, hospitalizations for heart failure, and urgent visits for heart failure. The trial ended early owing to loss of funding. RESULTS Of 19,188 patients screened, 10,584 were enrolled, with 5292 assigned to the sotagliflozin group and 5292 assigned to the placebo group, and followed for a median of 16 months. The rate of primary end-point events was 5.6 events per 100 patient-years in the sotagliflozin group and 7.5 events per 100 patient-years in the placebo group (hazard ratio, 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.63 to 0.88; P<0.001). The rate of deaths from cardiovascular causes per 100 patient-years was 2.2 with sotagliflozin and 2.4 with placebo (hazard ratio, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.73 to 1.12; P = 0.35). For the original coprimary end point of the first occurrence of death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke, the hazard ratio was 0.84 (95% CI, 0.72 to 0.99); for the original coprimary end point of the first occurrence of death from cardiovascular causes or hospitalization for heart failure, the hazard ratio was 0.77 (95% CI, 0.66 to 0.91). Diarrhea, genital mycotic infections, volume depletion, and diabetic ketoacidosis were more common with sotagliflozin than with placebo. CONCLUSIONS In patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease, with or without albuminuria, sotagliflozin resulted in a lower risk of the composite of deaths from cardiovascular causes, hospitalizations for heart failure, and urgent visits for heart failure than placebo but was associated with adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure or death from cardiovascular causes among patients with stable heart failure. However, the safety and efficacy of SGLT2 inhibitors when initiated soon after an episode of decompensated heart failure are unknown. METHODS We performed a multicenter, double-blind trial in which patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were recently hospitalized for worsening heart failure were randomly assigned to receive sotagliflozin or placebo. The primary end point was the total number of deaths from cardiovascular causes and hospitalizations and urgent visits for heart failure (first and subsequent events). The trial ended early because of loss of funding from the sponsor. RESULTS A total of 1222 patients underwent randomization (608 to the sotagliflozin group and 614 to the placebo group) and were followed for a median of 9.0 months; the first dose of sotagliflozin or placebo was administered before discharge in 48.8% and a median of 2 days after discharge in 51.2%. Among these patients, 600 primary end-point events occurred (245 in the sotagliflozin group and 355 in the placebo group). The rate (the number of events per 100 patient-years) of primary end-point events was lower in the sotagliflozin group than in the placebo group (51.0 vs. 76.3; hazard ratio, 0.67; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.52 to 0.85; P<0.001). The rate of death from cardiovascular causes was 10.6 in the sotagliflozin group and 12.5 in the placebo group (hazard ratio, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.58 to 1.22); the rate of death from any cause was 13.5 in the sotagliflozin group and 16.3 in the placebo group (hazard ratio, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.59 to 1.14). Diarrhea was more common with sotagliflozin than with placebo (6.1% vs. 3.4%), as was severe hypoglycemia (1.5% vs. 0.3%). The percentage of patients with hypotension was similar in the sotagliflozin group and the placebo group (6.0% and 4.6%, respectively), as was the percentage with acute kidney injury (4.1% and 4.4%, respectively). The benefits of sotagliflozin were consistent in the prespecified subgroups of patients stratified according to the timing of the first dose. CONCLUSIONS In patients with diabetes and recent worsening heart failure, sotagliflozin therapy, initiated before or shortly after discharge, resulted in a significantly lower total number of deaths from cardiovascular causes and hospitalizations and urgent visits for heart failure than placebo.

Empagliflozin Reduces Myocardial Extracellular Volume in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Coronary Artery Disease. JACC Cardiovasc Imaging 2021; 14:1164-1173. [PMID: 33454272 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcmg.2020.10.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2020] [Revised: 10/16/2020] [Accepted: 10/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate the effects of empagliflozin on extracellular volume (ECV) in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND Empagliflozin has been shown to reduce left ventricular mass index (LVMi) in patients with T2DM and CAD. The effects on myocardial ECV are unknown. METHODS This was a prespecified substudy of the EMPA-HEART (Effects of Empagliflozin on Cardiac Structure in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes) CardioLink-6 trial in which 97 participants were randomized to receive empagliflozin 10 mg daily or placebo for 6 months. Data from 74 participants were included: 39 from the empagliflozin group and 35 from the placebo group. The main outcome was change in left ventricular ECV from baseline to 6 months determined by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Other outcomes included change in LVMi, indexed intracellular compartment volume (iICV) and indexed extracellular compartment volume (iECV), and the fibrosis biomarkers soluble suppressor of tumorgenicity (sST2) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2. RESULTS Baseline ECV was elevated in the empagliflozin group (29.6 ± 4.6%) and placebo group (30.6 ± 4.8%). Six months of empagliflozin therapy reduced ECV compared with placebo (adjusted difference: -1.40%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -2.60 to -0.14%; p = 0.03). Empagliflozin therapy reduced iECV (adjusted difference: -1.5 ml/m2; 95% CI: -2.6 to -0.5 ml/m2; p = 0.006), with a trend toward reduction in iICV (adjusted difference: -1.7 ml/m2; 95% CI: -3.8 to 0.3 ml/m2; p = 0.09). Empagliflozin had no impact on MMP-2 or sST2. CONCLUSIONS In individuals with T2DM and CAD, 6 months of empagliflozin reduced ECV, iECV, and LVMi. No changes in MMP-2 and sST2 were seen. Further investigation into the mechanisms by which empagliflozin causes reverse remodeling is required.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background: SGLT2 (sodium-glucose cotransporter-2) inhibitors improve heart failure–associated outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. In patients with heart failure, SGLT2 inhibitors will likely be coprescribed with a loop diuretic, but this combined effect is not well-defined. Our aim was to assess the diuretic and natriuretic effect of empagliflozin in combination with loop diuretics. Methods: The RECEDE-CHF trial (SGLT2 Inhibition in Combination With Diuretics in Heart Failure) was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial of patients with type 2 diabetes and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction taking regular loop diuretic who were randomized to empagliflozin 25 mg once daily or placebo for 6 weeks with a 2-week washout period. The primary outcome was change in 24-hour urinary volume from baseline to week 6. Results: Twenty-three participants (mean age, 69.8 years; 73.9% male; mean furosemide dose, 49.6±31.3 mg/d; mean HbA1c, 7.9±3.8%) were recruited. Compared with placebo, empagliflozin caused a significant increase in 24-hour urinary volume at both day 3 (mean difference, 535 mL [95% CI, 133–936]; P=0.005) and week 6 (mean difference, 545 mL [95% CI, 136–954]; P=0.005) after adjustment for treatment order, baseline 24-hour urine volume, and percentage change in loop diuretic dose. At 6 weeks, empagliflozin did not cause a significant change in 24-hour urinary sodium (mean difference, −7.85 mmol/L [95% CI, −2.43 to 6.73]; P=0.57). Empagliflozin caused a nonsignificant increase in fractional excretion of sodium at day 3, which was absent at week 6 (mean difference day 3, 0.30% [95% CI, −0.03 to 0.63]; P=0.09; week 6, 0.11% [95% CI, −0.22 to 0.44]; P>0.99), and a significant increase in electrolyte-free water clearance at week 6 (mean difference, 312 mL [95% CI, 26–598]; P=0.026) compared with placebo. Empagliflozin also caused significant reductions in body weight and serum urate at week 6. Conclusions: Empagliflozin caused a significant increase in 24-hour urine volume without an increase in urinary sodium when used in combination with loop diuretic.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The management of individuals who live with type 2 diabetes requires an integrated and multifaceted approach. RECENT FINDINGS Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors effectively prevent and treat cardiorenal complications in the presence of type 2 diabetes. They also reduce death and disease progression in those with established heart failure (with reduced ejection fraction) in the absence of diabetes. SUMMARY Close collaborations between primary care physicians, cardiovascular specialists, endocrinologists and nephrologists are necessary to optimize cardiovascular, renal and metabolic risk reduction in their shared patients.
