PG - 151 LID - 10.1186/s12933-022-01589-3 [doi] LID - 151 AB - BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are adversely associated with the development and worsening of heart failure (HF). Herein, we sought to investigate the effect of canagliflozin on insulin concentrations and the associations of changes in insulin concentrations with HF-related clinical parameters in patients with T2D and HF. METHODS: This was a post-hoc analysis of the investigator-initiated, multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled CANDLE trial for patients with T2D and chronic HF (UMIN000017669). The endpoints were the effects of 24 weeks of canagliflozin treatment, relative to glimepiride treatment, on insulin concentrations and the relationship between changes in insulin concentrations and clinical parameters of interest, including New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification. The effects of canagliflozin on those parameters were also analyzed by baseline insulin level. RESULTS: Among the participants in the CANDLE trial, a total of 129 patients (canagliflozin, n = 64; glimepiride, n = 65) who were non-insulin users with available serum insulin data both at baseline and week 24 were included in this analysis. Overall, the mean age was 69.0 +/- 9.4 years; 75% were male; the mean HbA1c was 6.8 +/- 0.7%; and the mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 59.0 +/- 14.1%, with parameters roughly balanced between treatment groups. Canagliflozin treatment significantly reduced insulin concentrations at week 24 (p < 0.001), and the between-group difference (canagliflozin minus glimepiride) in those changes was - 3.52 mU/L (95% confidence interval, - 4.85 to - 2.19; p < 0.001). Decreases in insulin concentrations, irrespective of baseline insulin level, were significantly associated with improvement in NYHA class in patients treated with canagliflozin. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that canagliflozin treatment in patients with T2D and HF ameliorated excess insulin overload, contributing to the improvement of clinical HF status.
