Heterogeneity in cardiorenal protection by Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in heart failure across the ejection fraction strata: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
World Journal of Nephrology 2023 December 26
BACKGROUND: Gliflozins or Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are relatively novel antidiabetic medications that have recently been shown to represent favorable effects on patients' cardiorenal outcomes. However, there is shortage of data on potential disparities in this therapeutic effect across different patient subpopulations.
AIM: To investigate differential effects of SGLT2i on the cardiorenal outcomes of heart failure patients across left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) levels.
METHODS: Literature was searched systematically for the large randomized double-blind controlled trials with long enough follow up periods reporting cardiovascular and renal outcomes in their patients regarding heart failure status and LVEF levels. Data were then meta-analyzed after stratification of the pooled data across the LVEF strata and New York Heart Associations (NYHA) classifications for heart failure using Stata software version 17.0.
RESULTS: The literature search returned 13 Large clinical trials and 13 post hoc analysis reports. Meta-analysis of the effects of gliflozins on the primary composite outcome showed no significant difference in efficacy across the heart failure subtypes, but higher efficacy were detected in patient groups at lower NYHA classifications ( I 2 = 46%, P = 0.02). Meta-analyses across the LVEF stratums revealed that a baseline LVEF lower than 30% was associated with enhanced improvement in the primary composite outcome compared to patients with higher LVEF levels at the borderline statistical significance (HR: 0.70, 95%CI: 0.60 to 0.79 vs 0.81, 95%CI: 0.75 to 0.87; respectively, P = 0.06). Composite renal outcome was improved significantly higher in patients with no heart failure than in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) (HR: 0.60, 95%CI: 0.49 to 0.72 vs 0.94, 95%CI: 0.74 to 1.13; P = 0.04). Acute renal injury occurred significantly less frequently in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction who received gliflozins than in HFpEF (HR: 0.67, 95%CI: 51 to 0.82 vs 0.94, 95%CI: 0.82 to 1.06; P = 0.01). Volume depletion was consistently increased in response to SGLT2i in all the subgroups.
CONCLUSION: Heart failure patients with lower LVEF and lower NYHA sub-classifications were found to be generally more likely to benefit from therapy with gliflozins. Further research are required to identify patient subgroups representing the highest benefits or adverse events in response to SGLT2i.
