Do sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors induce left ventricular reverse remodeling in patients with anthracycline-related cardiac dysfunction?
SGLT2 inhibitors may induce clinical improvement and left ventricular reverse remodeling in patients with anthracycline-related cardiac dysfunction.
Purpose: To describe the efficacy and safety of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors as a specific treatment for anthracycline-related cardiac dysfunction in a small real-world population. Methods: Seven patients with anthracycline-related cardiac dysfunction were clinically and echocardiographically evaluated before and after the introduction of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors. Results: = 0.17) was also observed. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors therapy was well tolerated by every patients; no cases of discontinuation or relevant side effects were observed. Conclusion: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors induce a significant clinical improvement and left ventricular reserve remodeling in patients affected by anthracycline-related cardiac dysfunction.
