PG - 327-333 LID - 10.1007/s10557-022-07396-y [doi] AB - BACKGROUND AND AIM: Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors added to optimal medical therapy have been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and recurrent heart failure (HF) hospitalization in HF patients. We aimed to evaluate the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on the ventricular repolarization markers (VRM) in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). METHODS: 51 patients with HFrEF who had symptoms New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-IV despite optimal medical treatment and were added SGLT2 inhibitors to their treatment were included in the study. Electrocardiography (ECG) and laboratory results obtained before the treatment and at the first-month follow-up visit were compared. QT, QTc (corrected by Bazett formula), QT dispersion (QTd), QTc dispersion (QTc-d), Tpeak to Tend (Tp-e) interval, Tp-e/QT, and Tp-e/QTc ratios were measured and defined as VRM. RESULTS: A significant decrease was observed in HR, QT, QTc intervals, and QTd compared to pre-treatment. While the mean Tp-e interval was 101.5 +/- 11.7 ms before treatment, it decreased to 93.1 +/- 12.7 ms after treatment (p < 0.001). There was a significant decrease in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels after treatment [2859 +/- 681vs.1266 +/- 763, respectively (p < 0.001)] and QTd, Tp-e interval, and Tp-e/QTc ratio was positively correlated with the change in NT-proBNP level. CONCLUSIONS: The addition of SGLT2 inhibitors to optimal medical therapy in HFrEF patients positively changes VRM (QT, QTc, QTd, Tp-e, and Tp-e/QTc). CI - (c) 2022.
