Drug: SGLT2 inhibitor
Registration Number
NCT06097585
Lead Sponsor
Assiut University
Brief Summary

The objective of this trial is to detect impact of Gliflozin on patients with heart failure due to reurgitant rheumatic valve disease

Detailed Description

* Rheumatic heart disease is a chronic sequel of acute rheumatic fever caused by group A β hemolytic Streptococcal pharyngitis and possibly pyoderma, which mimics molecular heart structures so the immune response leads to carditis and valvular heart damage. Damage to valves cause mitral and/or aortic regurgitation, or in long-standing stenosis. Complications of rheumatic heart disease include heart failure, embolic stroke, endocarditis and atrial fibrillation .

* Heart failure (HF) is a progressive syndrome characterised by the inability of the heart to provide adequate blood supply to meet the metabolic demand of different tissues .

* The recent ESC/AHA/ACC guidelines of HF set medications as class 1 for the HF therapy as ACE-I/ ARNI/beta-blocker/MRA/ SGLT2 I as they reduced the risk of cardiovascular death and worsening HF in patients with HFrEF , Unless contraindicated or not tolerated.

* Empagliflozin is an orally available inhibitor sodium glucose co-transporter 2 receptor (SGLT-2), empagliflozin exerts its effect by preventing sodium and glucose reabsorption from proximal convoluted tubules. This leads to increased urinary sodium and glucose excretion, This is associated with a modest osmotic diuresis, blood pressure lowering effect, improvement in arterial stiffness , and decrease in heart rate.

* DAPA-HF trial shows: The primary outcome of cardiovascular death, HF hospitalization, for dapagliflozin vs. placebo, was 16.3% vs 21.2% (p \< 0.001).

* EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial shows: The primary outcome, cardiovascular death or HF hospitalization, for empagliflozin vs. placebo, was 19.4% vs. 24.7% ( p \< 0.001).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change of the clinical condition6 months up to 1 year

improving or worsening in NYHA class: I- Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue fatigue, dyspnea, or palpitations.

II- Ordinary physical activity causes fatigue, dyspnea, palpitations, or angina.

III- Comfortable at rest; less than ordinary physical activity causes fatigue, dyspnea, palpitations, or angina.

IV- Symptoms occur at rest; any physical activity increases discomfort.

change of the function and regurge6 months up to 1 year

improving or worsening in echocardiographic parameter :

* ejection fraction by simpson methods
