Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is related with poor outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Whether diabetic patients with AMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) benefit from sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in terms of cardiovascular mortality, myocardial damage, and left ventricular function is unclear. Methods: Through a comprehensive search in PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of science databases from January 2018 to September 2023, randomized controlled trials were performed to compare SGLT2i with other oral antidiabetic medications in diabetic patients with AMI undergoing PCI. Cardiovascular mortality constituted the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were high-sensitivity troponin I (hs-TnI) levels, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). Results: SGLT2i significantly reduced cardiovascular mortality risk versus other antidiabetic agents (hazard ratio (HR): 0.35, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.21–0.58, p < 0.0001). SGLT2i also lowered hs-TnI levels across all time points (mean difference: –2931 ng/L, p < 0.001). After adjustment for publication bias, this difference was no longer significant. However, peak hs-TnI levels remained significantly lower with SGLT2i (mean difference: –3836 ng/L, p < 0.001). Finally, SGLT2i improved LVEF versus comparators, with a mean difference of –5.00% (95% CI: –6.69 to –3.31, p < 0.001) at hospital discharge. SGLT2i was also associated with 60% lower odds of CI-AKI (odds ratio (OR): 0.40, 95% CI: 0.22–0.75, p = 0.004). Conclusions: Compared with other antidiabetic medications, SGLT2i may lower cardiovascular mortality, infarct size, and prevent left ventricle (LV) systolic dysfunction in diabetic patients with AMI undergoing PCI. The use of SGLT2i in this high-risk group is supported by these findings.
