Protective Effects of Sodium-Glucose Transporter 2 Inhibitors on Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter: A Systematic Review and Meta- Analysis of Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trials. [PDF]
Background Hyperglycemia is associated with an increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL). Sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been reported to prevent AF/AFL in some studies, but not others ...

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors beyond diabetes
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors lower blood glucose by reducing the reabsorption of glucose in the kidney. They are a second-line therapy for type 2 diabetes. During clinical trials it was noticed that SGLT2 inhibitors had favourable effects on cardiovascular and renal disease.

Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors and epicardial adiposity
Epicardial adipose tissue is a layer of adipocytes that physiologically surround the myocardium and play some physiologic roles in normal heart function. However, in pathologic conditions, the epicardial adipose tissue can present a potent cardiac risk factor that is capable of impairing heart function through several pathways, increasing the risk of ...

Sodium glucose co-transport 2 inhibitors for gout treatment
Hyperuricemia remains the most prevalent cause of gout. Gout patients present with joint inflammation and uric acid crystals deposition manifesting as tophi. The association of gout with increased risk of insulin resistance, diabetes, metabolic disorders, increased cardiometabolic risk, and kidney disease is well established.
