Clinical Impact of SGLT2 Inhibitor After DC Cardioversion in Persistent AF With HFpEF
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
SGLT2 inhibitors (Dapagliflozin and Empagliflozin): Patients receive an SGLT2 inhibitor (empagliflozin or dapagliflozin) after successful DC cardioversion, in addition to guideline-directed anticoagulation and antiarrhythmic drugs for 1 month.
Study summary
SGLT2 inhibitors improve outcomes in heart failure across the ejection fraction spectrum, but their effect on maintenance of sinus rhythm after rhythm-control therapy is largely unknown. This prospective, single-center, open-label randomized controlled trial evaluates whether an SGLT2 inhibitor started after successful electrical cardioversion reduces recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia at 1 month in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. 200 patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive an SGLT2 inhibitor or no SGLT2 inhibitor.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia — 1 month after randomization (±1 week)
Composite of atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and atrial tachycardia, documented on 12-lead ECG or as an episode lasting ≥30 seconds on continuous ECG monitoring.
