Abstract Background Although the benefits of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on cardiovascular events have been reported in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with or without heart failure (HF), the impact of SGLT2i on cardiac remodelling remains to be established. Methods We searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases up to November 16th, 2020, for randomized controlled trials reporting the effects of SGLT2i on parameters of cardiac structure, cardiac function, plasma N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level or the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) score in T2DM patients with or without chronic HF. The effect size was expressed as the mean difference (MD) or standardized mean difference (SMD) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). Subgroup analyses were performed based on the stage A–B or stage C HF population and HF types. Results Compared to placebo or other antidiabetic drugs, SGLT2i showed no significant effects on left ventricular mass index, left ventricular end diastolic volume index, left ventricular end systolic volume index, or left atrial volume index. SGLT2i improved left ventricular ejection fraction only in the subgroup of HF patients with reduced ejection fraction (MD 3.16%, 95% CI 0.11 to 6.22, p = 0.04; I2 = 0%), and did not affect the global longitudinal strain in the overall analysis including stage A–B HF patients. SGLT2i showed benefits in the E/e’ ratio (MD − 0.45, 95% CI − 0.88 to − 0.03, p = 0.04; I2 = 0%), plasma NT-proBNP level (SMD − 0.09, 95% CI − 0.16 to − 0.03, p = 0.004; I2 = 0%), and the KCCQ score (SMD 3.12, 95% CI 0.76 to 5.47, p  = 0.01; I2 = 0%) in the overall population. Conclusion The use of SGLT2i was associated with significant improvements in cardiac diastolic function, plasma NT-proBNP level, and the KCCQ score in T2DM patients with or without chronic HF, but did not significantly affect cardiac structural parameters indexed by body surface area. The LVEF level was improved only in HF patients with reduced ejection fraction.

The Impact

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is frequent in patients with heart failure (HF) and correlated with an increased morbidity and mortality. The features and outcomes of patients with and without T2DM, depending on the HF type (HF with preserved: HFpEF, mid-range: HFmrEF; and reduced ejection fraction: HFrEF), are inefficiently explored. Aim: To explore the impact of T2DM on clinical features and one-year overall mortality in patients with HFrEF, HFmrEF and HFpEF. Material and methods: A prospective, observational study was conducted, including patients with HF at the Department of Cardiology, Clinical Center of Serbia, Belgrade. The enrolment occurred between November 2018 and January 2019. The study outcome was one-year all-cause mortality. Results: Study included 242 patients (mean-age, 71 ± 13 years, men 57%). T2DM was present in 31% of patients. The proportion of T2DM was similar amid patients with HFrEF, HFmrEF, and HFpEF. Regardless of the HF type, patients with T2DM were probably older and had a higher prevalence of myocardial infarction, other types of coronary disorder or peripheral arterial disorder (all p < 0.001). Also, chronic kidney disease was more prevalent in T2DM (p < 0.001). In HFpEF, T2DM patients were commonly female, and usually had hypertension and atrial fibrillation (all p < 0.001). Estimated one-year total mortality rates were significantly higher in T2DM patients. It also emerged as a unique predictor of higher mortality in HFrEF (HR; 1.33; 95% CI; 1.34 - 2.00), HFmrEF (HR; 1.13; 95% CI; 1.0 - 1.24) and HFpEF (HR; 1.21; 95% CI; 1.09 - 1.56), all p < 0.05. Conclusion: Compared with non-diabetics, patients with HF and T2DM are older, with higher prevalence of comorbidities and greater one-year mortality, regardless of HF type. Heart failure is a unique predictor of mortality in all HF types in multivariate analysis. Considering the increased risk, T2DM requires meticulous screening/diagnosis and contemporary treatment to improve outcomes.

Introduction. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is considered to be the equivalent of cardiovascular disease due to its micro- and macrovascular complications. Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia, impaired glucose tolerance and fasting glucose, and their subsequent maladaptive responses lead to myocardial dysfunction several years before the onset of T2DM. Pathological changes in the cardiovascular system in T2DM can progress without any symptoms for a long time. Aim. To identify clinical, laboratory, echocardiographic predictors of the early manifestations of chronic heart failure (CHF) in patients with T2DM. Materials and methods. The study included 94 patients with T2DM with and without initial symptoms of CHF at the age of 40 to 65 years. All patients had obesity or excess body weight and arterial hypertension (AH), 37 patients had stable coronary heart disease (CHD). Patients underwent general clinical and laboratory examination, a 6-minute walk test (6MWT), echocardiography. The concentration of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP ) was also determined. The patients were divided into 2 groups: without CHF symptoms (group 1, n = 54) and with initial symptoms of CHF (group 2, n = 40) and then these groups were compared. Results. Differences were revealed between the second and first groups in the duration of T2DM (10.5 vs 7.5 years, p = 0.02) and AH (15 vs 10 years, p = 0.009); the incidence of stable CHD (70 vs 16.7%, p < 0.0001); distance covered during 6MWT (375 vs 425 m, p < 0.0001); the median level of NT-proBNP (38.5 vs 27.2 pg/ml, p = 0.031); the left atrium (LA) size (4.4 vs 4.2 cm, p = 0.044); the left ventricular posterior wall thickness (PWT) (1.05 vs 0.95 cm, p = 0.02); the level of triglycerides (2.3 vs 1.6 mmol/l, p = 0.03) and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (74.1 vs 79.1 ml/min/1.73 m2, r = 0.04). The discriminant analysis revealed combination of factors associated with initial symptoms of CHF: the duration of CHD (taken as 0, if absent, p < 0.00001), PWT of the LV (p = 0.000007), GFR (p = 0.0009), the LA size (p = 0.005), the level of triglycerides (p = 0.03), the duration of T2DM (p = 0.046). The NT-proBNP level > 125 pg/ml was detected in 16% of patients with T2DM and correlated with the duration of diabetes over 10 years (p = 0.0085), the presence of stable CHD (p < 0.0001), and left ventricular mass index (p = 0.0005) and the ejection fraction of the LV (p < 0.0001). Conclusion. Predictors of the initial manifestations of chronic heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were the presence and duration of stable CHD, an increase in the PWT of the LV, the LA size, the level of triglycerides, and the duration of diabetes. An elevated level of NT-proBNP (more than 125 pg/ml) in patients with T2DM was detected in 16% of cases and was associated with the duration of diabetes for more than 10 years, presence of stable CHD, initial symptoms of CHF, left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy, and a lower left ventricular ejection fraction according to echocardiography.

Objective: To study the characteristics and prognostic implications of type 2 diabetes in different heart failure entities from a nationwide perspective. Methods: This observational study comprised 30,696 heart failure patients prospectively included in the Swedish Heart Failure Registry (SwedeHF) 2003–2011 from specialist care, with mortality information available until December 2014. Patients were categorized into three heart failure entities by their left ventricular ejection fraction (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: ⩾50%, heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction: 40%–49% and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: <40%). All-cause mortality stratified by type 2 diabetes and heart failure entity was studied by Cox regression. Results: Among the patients, 22% had heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, 21% had heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction and 57% had heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. The proportion of type 2 diabetes was similar, ≈25% in each heart failure entity. Patients with type 2 diabetes and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction were older, more often female and burdened with hypertension and renal impairment compared with heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction patients among whom ischaemic heart disease was more common. Type 2 diabetes remained an independent mortality predictor across all heart failure entities after multivariable adjustment, somewhat stronger in heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction below 50% (hazard ratio, 95% confidence interval; heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: 1.32 [1.22–1.43], heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction: 1.51 [1.39–1.65], heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: 1.46 [1.39–1.54]; p-value for interaction, p = 0.0049). Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes is an independent mortality predictor across all heart failure entities increasing mortality risk by 30%–50%. In type 2 diabetes, the heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction entity resembles heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in clinical characteristics, risk factor pattern and prognosis.
