Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and major adverse cardiovascular outcomes: a SMART-C collaborative meta-analysis

<p><strong>BACKGROUND:&nbsp;</strong>Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) consistently improve heart failure and kidney-related outcomes; however, effects on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) across different patient populations are less clear.</p>...

description <p><strong>BACKGROUND:&nbsp;</strong>Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) consistently improve heart failure and kidney-related outcomes; however, effects on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) across different patient populations are less clear.</p> <p><strong>METHODS:&nbsp;</strong>This was a collaborative trial-level meta-analysis from the SGLT2i Meta-analysis Cardio-Renal Trialists Consortium, which includes all phase 3, placebo-controlled, outcomes trials of SGLT2i across 3 patient populations (patients with diabetes at high risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure [HF], or chronic kidney disease). The outcomes of interest were MACE (composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke), individual components of MACE (inclusive of fatal and nonfatal events), all-cause mortality, and death subtypes. Effect estimates for SGLT2i versus placebo were meta-analyzed across trials and examined across key subgroups (established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, previous myocardial infarction, diabetes, previous HF, albuminuria, chronic kidney disease stages, and risk groups).</p> <p><strong>RESULTS:&nbsp;</strong>A total of 78&thinsp;607 patients across 11 trials were included: 42&thinsp;568 (54.2%), 20&thinsp;725 (26.4%), and 15&thinsp;314 (19.5%) were included from trials of patients with diabetes at high risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, HF, or chronic kidney disease, respectively. SGLT2i reduced the rate of MACE by 9% (hazard ration [HR], 0.91 [95% CI, 0.87&ndash;0.96],&nbsp;<em>P</em>&lt;0.0001) with a consistent effect across all 3 patient populations (<em>I</em><sup>2</sup>=0%) and across all key subgroups. This effect was primarily driven by a reduction in cardiovascular death (HR, 0.86 [95% CI, 0.81&ndash;0.92],&nbsp;<em>P</em>&lt;0.0001), with no significant effect for myocardial infarction in the overall population (HR, 0.95 [95% CI, 0.87&ndash;1.04],&nbsp;<em>P</em>=0.29), and no effect on stroke (HR, 0.99 [95% CI, 0.91&ndash;1.07],&nbsp;<em>P</em>=0.77). The benefit for cardiovascular death was driven primarily by reductions in HF death and sudden cardiac death (HR, 0.68 [95% CI, 0.46&ndash;1.02] and HR, 0.86 [95% CI, 0.78&ndash;0.95], respectively) and was generally consistent across subgroups, with the possible exception of being more apparent in those with albuminuria (<em>P</em><sub>interaction</sub>=0.02).</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSIONS:&nbsp;</strong>SGLT2i reduce the risk of MACE across a broad range of patients irrespective of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney function, or other major clinical characteristics at baseline. This effect is driven primarily by a reduction of cardiovascular death, particularly HF death and sudden cardiac death, without a significant effect on myocardial infarction in the overall population, and no effect on stroke. These data may help inform selection for SGLT2i therapies across the spectrum of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic disease.</p>
