ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) are a novel class of oral hypoglycemic agents currently used among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The effects of SGLT2-i inhibitors on cardiac structure and function are not fully understood. The aim of this study is to evaluate the echocardiographic changing among patients with well-controlled T2DM treated with SGLT2-i in real-world setting. Thirty-five well-controlled T2DM patients (65 ± 9 years, 43.7% male) with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and 35 age and sex-matched controls were included. T2DM patients underwent clinical and laboratory evaluation; 12-lead surface electrocardiogram; 2-dimensional color Doppler echocardiography at enrolment, before SGLT2-i administration, and at 6 months follow-up after an uninterrupted 10 mg once daily of empagliflozin (n 21) or dapagliflozin (n 14). Standard echocardiographic measurements, LV global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS), global wasted work, and global work efficiency were calculated. T2DM patients showed higher E\E' ratio (8.3 ± 2.5 vs. 6.3 ± 0.9; P < 0.0001 ) and lower LV-GLS (15.8 ± 8.1 vs. 22.1 ± 1.4%; P < 0.0001 ) and global myocardial work efficiency (91 ± 4 vs. 94 ± 3%; P 0.0007 ) compared with age and sex-matched controls. At 6-month follow-up, T2DM patients showed a significant increase in LVEF (58.9 ± 3.2 vs. 62 ± 3.2; P < 0.0001 ), LV-GLS (16.2 ± 2.8 vs. 18.7 ± 2.4%; P = 0.003 ), and global work efficiency (90.3 ± 3.5 vs. 93.3 ± 3.2%; P = 0.0004 ) values; conversely, global wasted work values (161.2 ± 33.6 vs. 112.72 ± 37.3 mm Hg%; P < 0.0001 ) significantly decreased. Well-controlled T2DM patients with preserved LVEF who are treated with a SGLT2-i on top of the guidelines direct medical therapy showed a favorable cardiac remodeling, characterized by the improvement of LV-GLS and myocardial work efficiency.
