ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The safety and impact of sodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-I) in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are unknown.METHODS:
A retrospective analysis of all consecutive patients who underwent LVAD Heart Mate 3 (HM3) implantation at a single medical center and received SGLT2-I therapy following surgery was conducted. LVAD parameters, medical therapy, laboratory tests, echocardiography, and right heart catheterization (RHC) study results were recorded and compared before and after initiation of SGLT2-I.RESULTS:
SGLT2-I medications were initiated in 29 (21%) of 138 patients following HM3 implantation (23 (79%) received Empagliflozin and 6 (21%) Dapagliflozin). The mean age at the time of LVAD implantation was 62 ± 6.7 years, 25 (86%) were male, and 23 (79%) had diabetes mellitus. The median time from HM3 implantation to SGLT2-I initiation was 108 days, IQR (26-477). Following SGLT2-I therapy, the daily dose of furosemide decreased from 47 to 23.5 mg/day (mean difference = 23.5 mg/d, 95% CI 8.2-38.7, p = 0.004) and significant weight reduction was observed (mean difference 2.5 kg, 95% CI 0.7-4.3, p = 0.008). Moreover, a significant 5.6 mm Hg reduction in systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) was measured during RHC (95% CI 0.23-11, p = 0.042) in a subgroup of 11 (38%) patients. LVAD parameters were similar before and after SGLT2-I initiation (p > 0.2 for all). No adverse events were recorded during median follow-up of 354 days, IQR (206-786).CONCLUSION:
SGLT2-I treatment is safe in LVAD patients and might contribute to reduction in patients sPAP.Palabras clave
