Mechanisms of Cardiovascular Benefits of Sodium Glucose Co-Transporter 2 (SGLT2) Inhibitors

Abstract

Recent clinical trials have shown that sodium glucose co-transport 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have dramatic beneficial cardiovascular outcomes. These include a reduced incidence of cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalization in people with and without diabetes, and those with and without prevalent heart failure. The actual mechanism(s) responsible for these beneficial effects are not completely clear. Several potential theses have been proposed to explain the cardioprotective effects of SGLT2 inhibition, which include diuresis/natriuresis, blood pressure reduction, erythropoiesis, improved cardiac energy metabolism, inflammation reduction, inhibition of the sympathetic nervous system, prevention of adverse cardiac remodeling, prevention of ischemia/reperfusion injury, inhibition of the Na+/H+-exchanger, inhibition of SGLT1, reduction in hyperuricemia, increasing autophagy and lysosomal degradation, decreasing epicardial fat mass, increasing erythropoietin levels, increasing circulating pro-vascular progenitor cells, decreasing oxidative stress, and improving vascular function. The strengths and weaknesses of these proposed mechanisms are reviewed in an effort to try to synthesize and prioritize the mechanisms as they relate to clinical event reduction.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
