Brief Summary

This study is investigating how the medication Empagliflozin affects the heart's structure and function in patients with heart disease. Empagliflozin is already used to treat diabetes and heart conditions, and this research aims to see if it can help improve heart remodeling, which may lead to better heart health and quality of life. Participants will receive the medication and have regular check-ups to monitor their progress. The study is carefully designed to ensure participant safety. If you have heart disease and want to learn more, please contact (hany\_barsoum@med.asu.edu.eg).

Detailed Description

Heart disease is a leading cause of illness worldwide, and new treatments that improve heart function can have a significant impact on patient health and longevity. This research could provide valuable insights into how existing medications can be used to benefit people with heart conditions beyond their current use.

This clinical study aims to understand how Empagliflozin, a medication commonly used to treat diabetes, affects the heart's structure and function in people with heart disease. When the heart is damaged, especially on the left side (left ventricle), it can change shape and size-a process called remodeling-which may reduce how well the heart pumps blood. This study will explore whether Empagliflozin can help reverse or improve this remodeling process, potentially leading to better heart function and improved quality of life.

Participants in the study will receive Empagliflozin and undergo regular health check-ups, including imaging tests like echocardiograms, to track changes in heart structure and performance. The study is designed to carefully monitor safety and effectiveness, ensuring participants are supported throughout.

GroupInterventionDescription
Empagliflozin 10 mgEmpagliflozin 10 MG [Jardiance]Participants in this arm will receive Empagliflozin 10 mg orally once daily for a duration of 6 months. The purpose is to evaluate the effect of Empagliflozin on left ventricular remodeling and cardiac function in patients with HFrEF. Standard heart failure therapy may be continued alongside the study drug as clinically indicated.
Empagliflozin 25 mgempagliflozin (Jardiance) 25 mgParticipants in this arm will receive Empagliflozin 25 mg orally once daily for a duration of 6 months. The purpose is to evaluate the effect of Empagliflozin on left ventricular remodeling and cardiac function in patients with HFrEF. Standard heart failure therapy may be continued alongside the study drug as clinically indicated.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
left ventricular remodeling6 months

change of left ventricular volumes form baseline and after 6 months

left ventricular systolic function6 months

change of left ventricular ejection fraction from baseline and after 6 months

left ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS)6 months

changes of GLS from baseline and after 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod

MACE is defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke.

Assessment of diastolic function6 months

studying the effect of different doses of Empagliflozin not only on systolic function but also on diastolic function with E/E'

Left Atrial Strain6 months
