Sodium-glucose transporter inhibition in heart failure: from an unexpected side effect to a novel treatment possibility.

TLDR
Sodium-glucose transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been studied in large cardiovascular outcome trials to ascertain safety as discussed by the authors, and the results of these studies have been taken into account in recently issued guidelines for the management of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Impact of dapagliflozin treatment on renal function and diuretics use in acute heart failure: a pilot study

TL;DR: The use of dapagliflozin was associated with a more pronounced weight loss and less need to increase diuretic therapy without significant deterioration of the renal function and did not improve the in-hospital and 30-day prognosis after discharge.

The Design of Multi-target Drugs to Treat Cardiovascular Diseases: Two (or more) Birds on one Stone.

TL;DR: This review aims to highlight the efforts and rational pharmacological bases for the design of some promising multitargeted compounds to treat important cardiovascular diseases like heart failure, atherosclerosis, acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary arterial hypertension and arrhythmia.

Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter Inhibitors as Antidiabetic Drugs: Current Development and Future Perspectives

TL;DR: The discovery that intestinal SGLT-1 inhibition can provide a novel opportunity to control hyperglycemia, through a multifactorial mechanism, recently encouraged the design of low adsorbable inhibitors selectively directed to the intestinal S gliflozins subtype, representing a compelling strategy to identify new antidiabetic drug candidates.

Effects of GLP-1RA and SGLT2i, Alone or in Combination, on Mouse Models of Type 2 Diabetes Representing Different Disease Stages.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of single or combined use of liraglutide (a GLP-1RA) and ipragliflozin (a SGLT2i) for treating type 2 diabetes (T2DM) were evaluated.

SGLT2 Inhibitors in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

TL;DR: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors were first discovered as glucose-lowering drugs because of their glycosuric action and good safety profile as discussed by the authors , which paved the way to a larger use of these drugs in patients with heart failure, with the aim of improving their clinical outcomes and quality of life.

Empagliflozin, Cardiovascular Outcomes, and Mortality in Type 2 Diabetes.

TL;DR: Patients with type 2 diabetes at high risk for cardiovascular events who received empagliflozin, as compared with placebo, had a lower rate of the primary composite cardiovascular outcome and of death from any cause when the study drug was added to standard care.

Canagliflozin and cardiovascular and renal events in type 2 diabetes

TL;DR: Patients treated with canagliflozin had a lower risk of cardiovascular events than those who received placebo but a greater risk of amputation, primarily at the level of the toe or metatarsal.

Dapagliflozin in Patients with Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction

TL;DR: Among patients with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction, the risk of worsening heart failure or death from cardiovascular causes was lower among those who received dapagliflozin than amongThose who received placebo, regardless of the presence or absence of diabetes.

Dapagliflozin and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes

TL;DR: The cardiovascular safety profile of dapagliflozin, a selective inhibitor of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 that promotes glucosuria in patients with type 2 diabetes, is undefined.
