About
This study aimed to assess the effect of adding sodium glucose co-transporter two inhibitors on clinical outcome and left ventricular function in patients with acute myocardial Infarction.
Full description
Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are a class of anti-hyperglycemic agents that act on the SGLT-2 proteins expressed in the renal proximal convoluted tubules. They exert their effect by preventing the reabsorption of filtered glucose from the tubular lumen.
Early initiation and continuation of SGLT2 inhibition for acute myocardial infarction is appealing with many proposed mechanistic effects that may alter the natural history, predisposition to ventricular remodeling, and progression to chronic heart failure and end-stage heart disease
