The effects of SGLT2i on atrial fibrillation(AF), atrial flutter(AFL), composite AF/AFL, ventricular fibrillation(VF), ventricular tachycardia(VT), ventricular extrasystoles(VES), sudden cardiac death(SCD) and composite VF/VT/SCD were evaluated. SGLT2i lowers the risk of SCD only in heart failure patients.

Unlike a heart attack, cardiac arrest is an electrical malfunction that causes the heart to stop beating suddenly. This results in a failure to pump blood to the brain and other vital organs. Without immediate intervention, sudden cardiac death can occur within minutes.

The aortic valve controls blood flow from the heart into the aorta, the main artery that feeds blood to most of the body. When the valve does not work correctly, patients may need a replacement to preserve function of the heart muscle and prevent issues such as heart failure or sudden cardiac death.
