Abstract
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin (DAPA) on malignant ventricular arrhythmias (MVA) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods: A single-center, prospective and observational cohort study was conducted. We enrolled AMI patients from the ChangZhou Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry between January 2018 and November 2023. They were divided into two groups according to the use of dapagliflozin. The median follow-up time was 211 days. The primary endpoint of the study was the incidence of MVA during hospitalization, and the secondary endpoint was all-cause mortality rate during the follow-up period. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multifactorial logistic regression analysis were performed to assess the association between DAPA and the risk of MVA. Enrolled patients were matched on a 1:1 propensity score.
Results: Of the 2607 AMI patients enrolled, MVA were reported postoperatively in 123 (4.7%)patients. Cardiovascular death occurred in 93 (3.6%) patients. The average age of the enrolled patients was 65.03 ± 0.27 years. Of participants assigned to dapagliflozin, 8 out of 363 patients (2.2%) experienced MVA compared with 115 out of 2244 patients (5.1%) in the control group (odds ratio, OR = 0.392; 95% confidence interval, 95% CI: 0.171-0.900; P = 0.027). After 1:1 propensity score matching, DAPA remained able to reduce the risk of MVA in patients with AMI. (OR = 0.340; 95% CI: 0.121-0.960; P = 0.042). At a median follow-up of 211 days, all-cause mortality remained lower in the DAPA group than in the control group after matching (P = 0.033).
Conclusion: Dapagliflozin may attenuate the risk of MVA and all-cause mortality in elderly AMI patients, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic adjunct. However, these findings require validation in large-scale randomized trials.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology publishes original papers on all aspects of clinical pharmacology and drug therapy in humans. Manuscripts are welcomed on the following topics: therapeutic trials, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenetics, drug metabolism, adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, all aspects of drug development, development relating to teaching in clinical pharmacology, pharmacoepidemiology, and matters relating to the rational prescribing and safe use of drugs. Methodological contributions relevant to these topics are also welcomed.
Data from animal experiments are accepted only in the context of original data in man reported in the same paper. EJCP will only consider manuscripts describing the frequency of allelic variants in different populations if this information is linked to functional data or new interesting variants. Highly relevant differences in frequency with a major impact in drug therapy for the respective population may be submitted as a letter to the editor.
Straightforward phase I pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic studies as parts of new drug development will only be considered for publication if the paper involves
-a compound that is interesting and new in some basic or fundamental way, or
-methods that are original in some basic sense, or
-a highly unexpected outcome, or
-conclusions that are scientifically novel in some basic or fundamental sense.
