Abstract

Background: Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors have been added to the mainstay of treatment for chronic heart failure. Recent studies suggest that empagliflozin may also reverse cardiac remodeling in heart failure by reducing N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels. In our study, we wanted to show the decrease in NT-proBNP levels, which is an indicator of poor prognosis in heart failure, and to see if there was a decrease in the rate of renal progression in patients with HF after empagliflozin use.

Materials and methods: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and heart failure using empagliflozin were selected from the system and 456 patients were found. Patients were divided into two groups: heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The patients were divided into two groups according to their NT-proBNP levels at the beginning of the drug and on the 90th day. The laboratory data were analyzed at the time of drug initiation and at day 90.

Results: There was a statistically significant difference between baseline and day 90 HbA1C and NT-proBNP levels (p < 0.001), (p < 0.001). NT-proBNP and creatinine levels at baseline and day 90 were significantly higher in patients with HFrEF than in those with HFpEF (p < 0.001). According to the multivariate analysis, patients with HFrEF were 11.42 times more likely to have an NT-proBNP change above 300 pg/mL than patients with HFpEF (OR: 11.42, p = 0.028).

Conclusion: In our study, a significant reduction in NT-proBNP and HbA1C levels was observed, while renal function was preserved.
