Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors are commonly used treatments for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Both anti-diabetic treatments function by playing key modulatory roles in the incretin system. Though these drugs have been deemed effective in treating T2DM, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and some members of the scientific community have questioned the safety of these therapeutics relative to important cardiovascular endpoints. As a result, since 2008, the FDA has required all new drugs for glycemic control in T2DM patients to demonstrate cardiovascular safety. The present review article strives to assess the safety and benefits of incretin-based therapy, a new class of antidiabetic drug, on the health of patient cardiovascular systems. In the process, this review will also provide a physiological overview of the incretin system and how key components function in T2DM.

Abstract
Heart failure remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally and has been recognized as a common complication of diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes mellitus. Heart failure occurs in diabetic patients even in the absence of hypertension, coronary heart disease, or valvular heart disease, and is, therefore, a major cardiovascular complication in this vulnerable population. Given the continued rise in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus worldwide, the burden of heart failure on the healthcare system will continue to increase. Recent evidence demonstrates that empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor, brings clinical benefit to patients with established heart failure and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Herein, we critically reviewed the clinical evidence of empagliflozin for patients with heart failure and type 2 diabetes mellitus with the comparison with other sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors and potential mechanism to provide the optimal and evidence-based management for patients with established heart failure and type 2 diabetes mellitus with the goal to be conducive to the mechanism exploration of empagliflozin to advance a more comprehensive understanding of empagliflozin.

Pharmacological mechanisms of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2022; 22:261. [PMID: 35689186 PMCID: PMC9188076 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-022-02693-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background More and more evidence indicates sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) may display clinical benefits for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, the mechanisms of the action remain unclear. Methods A systematic pharmacology-based strategy was applied for predicting the potential molecular mechanisms of SGLT2is in HFpEF. The potential targets of SGLT2is and HFpEF were contained from diverse databases. After networks were constructed, Metascape was applied to functional enrichment. Moreover, the key findings were validated through molecular docking. Results We obtained 487 SGLT2is related targets and 1505 HFpEF related targets. The networks showed the complex relationship of HFpEF-target-HFpEF. The results of functional enrichment analysis suggested that several biological processes, including muscle system process, inflammatory response, vasculature development, heart development, regulation of MAPK cascade, positive regulation of ion transport, negative regulation of cell population proliferation, cellular response to nitrogen compound, apoptotic signaling pathway, multicellular organismal homeostasis, response to oxidative stress, regulation of cell adhesion, positive regulation of cell death, response to growth factor, and cellular response to lipid, and signaling pathways, such as cardiomyopathy, cAMP signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, apoptosis, MAPK signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, and NF-kappa B signaling pathway. Finally, we validated the interactions and combinations of SGLT2is and core targets. Conclusion SGLT2is play the potential role of anti-HFpEF through the direct or indirect synergy of multiple targets and pathways. Our study promotes the explanation of the molecular mechanisms of SGLT2is in HFpEF.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and heart failure (HF) are diseases characterized by high morbidity and mortality. They often occur simultaneously and increase the risk of each other. T2DM complicated with HF, as one of the most dangerous disease combinations in modern medicine, is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, making the treatment more difficult. At present, the combination of blood glucose control and anti-heart failure is a common therapy for patients with T2DM complicated with HF, but their effect is not ideal, and many hypoglycemic drugs have the risk of heart failure. Abnormal insulin signaling pathway, as a common pathogenic mechanism in T2DM and HF, could lead to pathological features such as insulin resistance (IR), myocardial energy metabolism disorders, and vascular endothelial disorders. The therapy based on the insulin signaling pathway may become a specific therapeutic target for T2DM patients with HF. Here, we reviewed the mechanisms and potential drugs of insulin signaling pathway in the treatment of T2DM complicated with HF, with a view to opening up a new perspective for the treatment of T2DM patients with HF and the research and development of new drugs.

Abstract
Heart failure is a clinical syndrome, resulting in increased intracardiac pressure and/or decreased cardiac output under rest or stress. In acute decompensated heart failure, volume assessment is essential for clinical diagnosis and management. More and more evidence shows the advantages of bioimpedance vector analysis in this issue. Here, we critically present a brief review of bioimpedance vector analysis in the prediction and management of heart failure to give a reference to clinical physicians and guideline makers.

Liang B, Gu N. Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy for Treatment of Severely Calcified Coronary Stenoses: Evidence From the Serial Disrupt CAD Trials. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:724481. [PMID: 34490380 PMCID: PMC8416910 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.724481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2021] [Accepted: 07/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Previous understanding holds that rotational atherectomy and modified balloons remain the default strategy for severely calcified coronary stenoses. In recent years, coronary intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) provides new ideas. This study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IVL for the treatment of severely calcified coronary stenoses. Methods: The serial Disrupt CAD trials (Disrupt CAD I, Disrupt CAD II, Disrupt CAD III, and Disrupt CAD IV) were included in this study. The safety endpoint was freedom from major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in hospital, at 30 days, and at 6 months following the index procedure. The efficacy endpoints included procedural success and angiographic success. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to evaluate the mechanism of action of IVL quantifying the coronary artery calcification (CAC) characteristics and calcium plaque fracture. Results: We enrolled a total of 628 patients with a mean age of 71.8 years, 77.1% males. In these patients, the left anterior descending artery and right coronary artery were the most vulnerable vessels. The diameter stenosis was 64.6 ± 11.6% and the lesion length was 24.2 ± 11.4 mm. IVL had a favorable efficacy (93.0% procedural success, 97.5% angiographic success, and 100.0% stent delivery). Among the 628 patients, 568, 568, and 60 reported MACE endpoints in hospital, at 30 days, and at 6 months, respectively. The results showed that 528, 514, and 55 patients were free from MACE in hospital, at 30 days, and at 6 months, respectively. OCT measurements demonstrated that calcium fracture was the underlying mechanism of action for coronary IVL. Conclusions: IVL is safe and efficient for severely calcified coronary stenoses, and, importantly, calcium fracture facilitated increased vessel compliance and favorable stent expansion.

Abstract
Background: Whether liraglutide use improves cardiometabolic risk factors in different subsets of subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD) remains unclear. In a systematic review and meta-analysis, we quantified the effects of liraglutide on cardiometabolic risk profile in subjects with CAD with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Methods: Online database searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane library, and Google Scholar from incept up to 15th January 2021. We identified randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effects of liraglutide compared to placebo on cardiometabolic risk profile. We used the random- or fixed-effect models to pool the weighted mean differences (WMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Out of a total of 7,320 citations, six articles (seven RCTs) with 294 subjects with CAD (mean age, 61.21 years; 19% women) were included. Our findings presented as WMD and 95% CI showed a statistical significant decrease in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) [−0.36%; −0.47; −0.26, p < 0.001; I2 = 0.0% (with 6 RCTs)], body mass index (BMI) [−0.61 kg/m2; −1.21; −0.01, p = 0.047; I2 = 72.2% (with five RCTs)], and waist circumference [−2.41 cm; −3.47; −1.36, p < 0.001; I2 = 0.0% (with three RCTs)]. Through a set of subgroup analyses, we found a significant reduction in BMI in CAD patients with T2D [WMD = −1.06; 95% CI, −1.42, −0.70, p < 0.001; I2 = 0.0% (with three RCTs)] compared to CAD only patients [WMD = −0.08; 95% CI, −0.45, 0.29, p = 0.66; I2 = 0.0% (with two RCTs)] in the liraglutide group compared with the placebo group. No significant changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and lipid profiles were observed. Conclusions: Among people with established CAD, liraglutide significantly improved HbA1c, BMI, and waist circumference values. The effect of liraglutide on BMI was more robust in individuals with T2D compared to those without.

Abstract
Cardiovascular outcome trials revealed cardiovascular benefits for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients when treated with long‐acting glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonists. In the last decade, major advances were made characterising the physiological effects of GLP‐1 and its action on numerous targets including brain, liver, kidney, heart and blood vessels. However, the effects of GLP‐1 and receptor agonists, and the GLP‐1 receptor on the cardiovascular system have not been fully elucidated. We compare results from cardiovascular outcome trials of GLP‐1 receptor agonists and review pleiotropic clinical and preclinical data concerning cardiovascular protection beyond glycaemic control. We address current knowledge on GLP‐1 and receptor agonist actions on the heart, vasculature, inflammatory cells and platelets, and discuss evidence for GLP‐1 receptor‐dependent versus independent effects secondary of GLP‐1 metabolites. We conclude that the favourable cardiovascular profile of GLP‐1 receptor agonists might expand their therapeutic use for treating cardiovascular disease even in non‐diabetic populations.

Effects of liraglutide on diastolic function parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease: a randomized crossover study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2021; 20:12.

Abstract
Background Diastolic dysfunction is highly prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is associated with overweight, glucose dysregulation and coronary artery disease (CAD). The GLP-1 receptor agonist, liraglutide, has shown to induce weight loss and improve metabolic factors, thus modulating factors associated with diastolic dysfunction. We have previously reported the effects of liraglutide on systolic function, and in this current study we explore the effects of liraglutide on diastolic function parameters in patients with stable CAD, preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and newly diagnosed T2DM. Methods Thirty subjects were randomized to liraglutide or placebo intervention for 12 + 12-weeks in this double-blind cross-over study. 2D-echocardiography using tissue velocity imaging was used for assessment of diastolic function parameters. Early diastolic filling velocity (E), late atrial filling velocity (A), E-wave deceleration time (EDT) and E/A ratio was assessed from the pulse wave (PW)-Doppler velocity recording of the mitral inflow. Peak early diastolic annular velocities (e′) was measured from color tissue doppler images. Results Liraglutide, when compared to placebo, induced a significant reduction in average e′ and lateral e′ velocities (– 0.57 cm/s [– 1.05 to − 0.08] and –0.74 cm/s [–1.32 to –0.15], respectively). Adjusted for the concomitant increase in HR (+ 6.16 bpm [0.79 to 11.54], the changes were not significant. No significant changes in other diastolic function parameters were observed. Conclusions Liraglutide therapy did not improve any diastolic function parameters in subjects with T2DM, CAD, and preserved LVEF. Instead, a deterioration in e’ was observed, which was associated to an increase in heart rate induced by liraglutide therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The major cardiovascular outcome trials on glucagon-like peptide one-receptor agonists have examined its effect on hospitalization of subjects with heart failure; however, very limited trials have been conducted on subjects with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (r- LVEF) as a primary outcome. OBJECTIVE We have conducted a systematic review of two major (FIGHT and LIVE) placebo-controlled trials of liraglutide and its clinical effect on the ejection fraction of subjects with heart failure. METHODS Medline data was retrieved for trials involving liraglutide from 2012 to 2020. The inclusion criteria for trials were: subjects with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), subjects with heart failure with rLVEF, major trials (phase II or III) on liraglutide, trials included liraglutide with defined efficacy primary outcome of patients with heart failure with rLVEF. The search was limited to the English language, whereby two trials [FIGHT and LIVE] had been included and two trials were excluded due to different primary outcomes. Participants (541) had been randomized for either liraglutide or placebo for 24 weeks. RESULTS In the FIGHT trial the primary intention-to-treat, sensitivity, and diabetes subgroup analyses have shown no significant between-group difference in the global rank scores (mean rank of 146 in the liraglutide group versus 156 in the placebo group; Wilcoxon rank-sum P=.31), number of deaths, re-hospitalizations for heart failure, or the composite of death or change in NT-pro BNP level (P= .94). In the LIVE trial, the change in the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from baseline to week 24 was not significantly different between treatment groups. The overall discontinuation rate of liraglutide was high in the FIGHT trial (29%, 86) as compared to that in the LIVE trial (11.6%, 28). CONCLUSION FIGHT and LIVE trials have demonstrated that liraglutide use in subjects with heart failure and rLVEF was implicated with an increased adverse risk of heart failure-related outcomes.
