Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter Type 2 Inhibitors and Cardiac Arrhythmias.

TL;DR: The antiarrhythmic mechanisms involved include reverse atrial and ventricular remodeling, amelioration of mitochondrial function, reduction of hypoglycemic episodes with their attendant arrhythmogenic effects, attenuated sympathetic nervous system activity, regulation of sodium and calcium homeostasis, and suppression of prolonged ventricular repolarization as discussed by the authors .

Empagliflozin Alleviates Left Ventricle Hypertrophy in High-Fat-Fed Mice by Modulating Renin Angiotensin Pathway

TL;DR: The results suggests that empagliflozin modulates the local RAS pathway towards alleviation of oxidative stress and ER stress in the LV, which may be a route to its effects on improved cardiac remodeling.

Sex differences in cardiovascular outcomes of SGLT-2 inhibitors in heart failure randomized controlled trials: A systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: In this article , the authors explored potential sex differences in primary composite outcomes among patients with heart failure treated with SGLT-2is and found that the primary composite outcome was significantly lower in females compared with males.

Unlocking the Full Potential of SGLT2 Inhibitors: Expanding Applications beyond Glycemic Control

TL;DR: In this article , the authors focus on the possible effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on different body systems, including brain function, synaptic plasticity, acetylcholinesterase activity, and reduce amyloid plaque formation, as well as regulation of the mTOR pathway in the brain.

Treatment strategies for hypertension in patients with type 1 diabetes.

TL;DR: Although hypertension affects a substantial proportion of T1DM individuals, blood pressure control rates are disappointingly low and there is an urgent need for good quality data regarding proper antihypertensive treatment initiation, optimal BP targets and optimal antihyertensive treatment for better clinical outcomes.

Diabetes without Manifest Cardiovascular Disease: A Novel Approach in Risk Stratification and Treatment Selection

TL;DR: The panel formulated a stepwise algorithm by which patients with T2D undergo initial risk stratification into low, intermediate and high risk using the ASCVD calculator, and recommends using standard diabetes care in low risk patients and using SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 agonists with cardio protective effect in high risk individuals.
