SGLT2 inhibitor initiation in HFrEF patients was associated with a decrease in NT-proBNP levels from 1116.5 to 913.5 pg/mL and coordinated biventricular improvements within 3 months.

Does SGLT2 inhibitor initiation improve biventricular function and NT-proBNP levels in adults with HFrEF?
SGLT2 inhibitor initiation in HFrEF is associated with early biventricular improvements and NT-proBNP reduction at 3 months, with baseline TAPSE/PASP ratio predicting RV recovery.

Background: While sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors clearly benefit left ventricular recovery in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), their rapid effects on right ventricular (RV) function remain poorly characterized. This prospective observational study investigated the timeline and markers of biventricular changes shortly after SGLT2 inhibitor initiation. Methods:In this prospective observational study, 50 adults with HFrEF (LVEF Results:After 3 months, NT-proBNP levels decreased significantly (1116.5 vs 913.5 pg/mL, P Conclusions: In this prospective observational study without a control group, SGLT2 inhibitor initiation was associated with coordinated biventricular improvements within three months in HFrEF patients. The baseline TAPSE/PASP ratio may serve as a useful non-invasive predictor of early RV functional recovery. These preliminary findings require confirmation in larger controlled studies.
Hammad et al. (Mon,) conducted a observational in Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) (n=50). SGLT2 inhibitor was evaluated on NT-proBNP levels. SGLT2 inhibitor initiation in HFrEF patients was associated with a decrease in NT-proBNP levels from 1116.5 to 913.5 pg/mL and coordinated biventricular improvements within 3 months.
