RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) frequently coexist, creating a complex and challenging clinical scenario, particularly when complicated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). AIM: To examine the effects of dapagliflozin combined with sakubactrovalsartan sodium tablets on myocardial microperfusion. METHODS: In total, 98 patients were categorized into control (n = 47) and observation (n = 51) groups. The control group received noxital, while the observation group was treated with dapagliflozin combined with noxital for 6 months. Changes in myocardial microperfusion, blood glucose level, cardiac function, N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level, growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) level, and other related factors were compared between the two groups. Additionally, the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and adverse reactions were calculated. RESULTS: After treatment, in the observation and control groups, the corrected thrombolysis in myocardial infarction frame counts were 37.12 ± 5.02 and 48.23 ± 4.66, respectively. The NT-proBNP levels were 1502.65 ± 255.87 and 2015.23 ± 286.31 pg/mL, the N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (NT-proANP) levels were 1415.69 ± 213.05 and 1875.52 ± 241.02 ng/mL, the GDF-15 levels were 0.87 ± 0.43 and 1.21 ± 0.56 g/L, and the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels were 6.54 ± 1.56 and 8.77 ± 1.94 mg/L, respectively, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). The cumulative incidence of MACEs in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions was 13.73% (7/51) in the observation group and 10.64% (5/47) in the control group, with no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Dapagliflozin combined with nocinto can improve myocardial microperfusion and left ventricular remodeling and reduce MACE incidence in patients with post-AMI heart failure and T2DM. The underlying mechanism may be related to the reduction in the expression levels of NT-proANP, GDF-15, and hs-CRP.
