Abstract
Background: Chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity is the leading cause of non-tumor-related mortality among patients with tumors. Although sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have been shown to confer cardiovascular benefits, their effects and safety profile in patients with cancer remain uncertain. The objective of this study was to assess the cardiovascular effects of SGLT2is in patients with cancer.
Objective: We conducted a meta-analysis of cohort studies to compare the efficacy and safety of SGLT2is and placebo in patients with cancer.
Results: A total of ten cohort studies, encompassing 85,185 patients, were included in this study. SGLT2is significantly decreased mortality (Risk ratios (RR) 0.52, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.36, 0.75), I2 = 98%), heart failure (HF) (RR 0.43, 95% CI 0.24, 0.77, I2 = 75%), and arrhythmia (RR 0.33, 95% CI 0 .23, 0.49, I2 = 0%). In addition, SGLT2is decreased the incidence of adverse events. No significant difference was identified in hypoglycemia, ketoacidosis, and acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Conclusion: The present study suggest that sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors may be an efficacious and safe means for improving the prognosis of patients with cancer and diabetes. However, future large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed to further validate the results.

期刊介绍:
Global Heart offers a forum for dialogue and education on research, developments, trends, solutions and public health programs related to the prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) worldwide, with a special focus on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Manuscripts should address not only the extent or epidemiology of the problem, but also describe interventions to effectively control and prevent CVDs and the underlying factors. The emphasis should be on approaches applicable in settings with limited resources.
Economic evaluations of successful interventions are particularly welcome. We will also consider negative findings if important. While reports of hospital or clinic-based treatments are not excluded, particularly if they have broad implications for cost-effective disease control or prevention, we give priority to papers addressing community-based activities. We encourage submissions on cardiovascular surveillance and health policies, professional education, ethical issues and technological innovations related to prevention.
Global Heart is particularly interested in publishing data from updated national or regional demographic health surveys, World Health Organization or Global Burden of Disease data, large clinical disease databases or registries. Systematic reviews or meta-analyses on globally relevant topics are welcome. We will also consider clinical research that has special relevance to LMICs, e.g. using validated instruments to assess health-related quality-of-life in patients from LMICs, innovative diagnostic-therapeutic applications, real-world effectiveness clinical trials, research methods (innovative methodologic papers, with emphasis on low-cost research methods or novel application of methods in low resource settings), and papers pertaining to cardiovascular health promotion and policy (quantitative evaluation of health programs.
