Abstract
Purpose
The role of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in managing cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is evolving. This meta-analysis seeks to explore the influence of SGLT2i on the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) following catheter ablation (CA) in individuals with T2DM qualitatively and quantitatively.
Methods
A comprehensive literature search was conducted in electronic databases. Studies meeting predefined criteria were included. Individual patient data (IPD) were used from reconstructed time-to-event data to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals for AF recurrence. IPD meta-analysis was followed by a direct meta-analysis to assess the risk of AF recurrence.
Results
A total of five studies [one randomized controlled trial (RCT) and four cohort studies] were included in this study, and five studies were included in the qualitative analysis, while four studies comprising 1043 patients with T2DM were included in the quantitative analysis. The pooled Kaplan–Meier curve based on reconstructed data showed a significantly lower risk of AF recurrence in the SGLT2i group compared with all antidiabetic drugs (log-rank P = 0.00011) and dipeptidyl-peptidase IV inhibitors (DPP4i) (log-rank P = 0.01). Cox regression analysis showed consistent results. Direct meta-analysis showed that SGLT2i, compared with all antidiabetic medications (HR 0.57, 95% CI [0.44, 0.73], I2) and DPP4i (HR 0.41, 95% CI [0.24, 0.70], I2), was associated with a lower risk of AF recurrence.
Conclusions
SGLT2i are associated with a reduced risk of AF recurrence after CA in patients with T2DM. These results suggest that SGLT2i is promising in improving clinical outcomes for this population.
期刊介绍:
Promoting rational therapy within the discipline of cardiology, the American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs covers all aspects of the treatment of cardiovascular disorders, particularly the place in therapy of newer and established agents.
Via a program of reviews and original clinical research articles, the journal addresses major issues relating to treatment of these disorders, including the pharmacology, efficacy and adverse effects of the major classes of drugs; information on newly developed drugs and drug classes; the therapeutic implications of latest research into the aetiology of cardiovascular disorders; and the practical management of specific clinical situations.
The American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs offers a range of additional enhanced features designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. Each article is accompanied by a Key Points summary, giving a time-efficient overview of the content to a wide readership. Articles may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist patients, caregivers and others in understanding important medical advances. The journal also provides the option to include various other types of enhanced features including slide sets, videos and animations. All enhanced features are peer reviewed to the same high standard as the article itself. Peer review is conducted using Editorial Manager®, supported by a database of international experts. This database is shared with other Adis journals.
