简要总结
The number of heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction gradually increases. SGLT2-i has been shown to reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure and cardiovascular death among patients with chronic heart failure and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 40% or more . However,its effect on the function on left atrium in heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction is still unknown.
详细描述
Heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction has become an important part of heart failure, the proportion is also gradually increased .Atrial fibrillation , as a common arrhythmia disease, is often caused by heart failure and aggravates the process of heart failure. It has been documented that in patients with heart failure and an ejection fraction more than 40%, it may have a higher incidence of atrial fibrillation.Heart failure and atrial fibrillation together increase the risk of stroke, hospitalization for heart failure, and all-cause death from heart failure.
SGLT-2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) is a new metabolic drug, through a variety of mechanisms on cardiac metabolism, has been shown to reduce the risk of death and rehospitalization, and improve the health of patients with heart failure.But the effect on preventing arrhythmia in patients with heart failure is still unclear. Some studies have shown that SGLT-2i reduces the left atrial volume index and the left ventricular diastolic volume index compared with placebo and some have proved that the indicators of the function of left atrium, such as peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS), peak atrial contraction strain (PACS), can effectively predict the occurrence of atrial fibrillation. The purpose of this study is to apply empagliflozin (a class of SGLT-2i) in heart failure patients with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction to measure the changes in the function of left atrium and thus verify its prevention and control effect on atrial fibrillation.
