Dissecting the reduction in cardiovascular death with SGLT2 inhibitors: Potential contribution of effects on ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death?

Type 2 diabetes is associated with a higher risk of cardiac arrhythmias, especially in presence of cardiovascular disease and/or heart failure. Ventricular arrhythmias (VA: tachycardia/fibrillation) may lead to sudden cardiac arrest/death (SCA/SCD). Sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors (SG...
