Empagliflozin and Left Ventricular Remodeling in People Without Diabetes: Primary Results of the EMPA-HEART 2 CardioLink-7 Randomized Clinical Trial
Circulation. 2022; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.062769
Among patients with neither diabetes nor significant HF but with risk factors for adverse cardiac remodelling, empagliflozin did not result in a meaningful reduction in change in left ventricular mass indexed (LVMi) to baseline body surface area (BSA) after 6 months as measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
SGLT2i have demonstrated reverse cardiac remodelling in patients with diabetes or HF, but their effects earlier in the natural history of HF are less well studied.
