Effects of treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors on arginine-related cardiovascular and renal biomarkers

Arne Gessner et al.

Summary: SGLT-2 inhibitors have divergent effects on risk markers related to cardiovascular and renal disease in patients with T2D, which may affect risk estimates associated with these markers. The observed effects may indicate new therapeutic approaches in patients treated with SGLT-2 inhibitors.

Heart failure with preserved, mid-range, and reduced ejection fraction across health care settings: an observational study

Annemarijn R. de Boer et al.

Summary: This study found significant variations in both the types of HF and the distribution by sex among HF patients aged 65-79 in different healthcare settings. The proportion of female patients decreased from high-risk communities to general practice to cardiology outpatient settings, with HFpEF being the most common type of HF.

Association of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors With Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Other Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease A Meta-analysis

Mukul Bhattarai et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis supports the effectiveness of SGLT2 inhibitors in improving cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in selected patients. However, SGLT2 inhibitors were not associated with a reduced risk of acute myocardial infarction. Future long-term prospective studies are needed to further understand the long-term cardiovascular benefits.

Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: Mechanisms and Treatment Strategies

Kazunori Omote et al.

Summary: The prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasing rapidly, and it has significant impact on the functional capacity and quality of life of patients. Unlike heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, there are limited effective treatments available for HFpEF. Therefore, improved understanding of its pathophysiologic mechanisms and individualized treatment strategies is crucial.

Cognitive dysfunction correlates with physical impairment in frail patients with acute myocardial infarction

Pasquale Mone et al.

Summary: In frail patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction, there is a significant correlation between gait speed and cognitive function, which was confirmed in a linear multivariate analysis. Therefore, evaluation of both cognitive and physical conditions should be included in the comprehensive geriatric assessment of hospitalized older STEMI patients.

Heart failure in diabetes

Stanislovas S. Jankauskas et al.

Summary: Heart failure and cardiovascular disorders are the leading cause of death in diabetic patients. This article reviews the main mechanisms underlying the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy and the contributions of different cells in diabetes-related heart failure. It also explores the preclinical tools for studying the disease mechanisms and provides updates on clinical management in the literature.

Comparison of the clinical effect of empagliflozin on glycemic and non-glycemic parameters in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease treated with or without baseline metformin

Atsushi Tanaka et al.

Summary: The most recent treatment guidelines for type 2 diabetes recommend the preferential use of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with high cardiovascular risk or existing cardiovascular disease. This study analyzed data from the EMBLEM trial to investigate the impact of empagliflozin on clinical parameters in patients with both T2D and CVD, based on their use of metformin therapy. The results showed that empagliflozin treatment for 24 weeks improved glycemic control regardless of baseline metformin use, with greater reductions in BMI and hs-TnI seen in patients who received metformin therapy.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor effects on heart failure hospitalization and cardiac function: systematic review

Roy Rasalam et al.

Summary: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) significantly reduce the relative risk of hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) regardless of type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) status, and may contribute to efficacy by reversing adverse left ventricular remodeling. Limited available evidence from randomized controlled trials suggests various possible cardioprotective mechanisms of SGLT2is in heart failure.

The degree of frailty as a translational measure of health in aging

Susan E. E. Howlett et al.

Summary: Frailty is a state related to age, influenced by multiple factors, and increasing the risk for adverse health outcomes. Age-related damage and decline in repair result in cellular and molecular deficits that scale up to tissue, organ, and system levels, where they are jointly expressed as frailty.
