PG - 93-104 LID - 10.1007/s00228-023-03582-5 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: There is accumulating evidence regarding the potential benefits of empagliflozin in individuals with acute myocardial infarction (MI). Based on the literature, colchicine could also reduce the risk of MI and death in individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, trials investigating the effects of the combination of empagliflozin with colchicine and high-dose empagliflozin monotherapy in this setting are lacking. METHODS: In this trial, 106 non-diabetic participants with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) following recent ST-elevation MI were randomly assigned to empagliflozin 10 mg/day, empagliflozin 10 mg/day plus colchicine 0.5 mg twice daily, or empagliflozin 25 mg/day groups within 72 h after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The study's primary outcomes were the changes in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) over 12 weeks. RESULTS: The baseline characteristics of individuals were statistically similar between the study groups. Changes in NYHA functional class over 12 weeks were not significantly different between the study groups. hs-CRP was significantly reduced in all groups (all P < 0.001); however, there was no significant change between the groups over the study period. Changes in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), LVEF, and left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) during the research period did not differ significantly between groups. CONCLUSION: This study showed that neither the combination treatment of empagliflozin 10 mg/day with colchicine nor the monotherapy of empagliflozin 25 mg/day was superior to empagliflozin 10 mg/day in terms of changes in clinical, inflammatory, and echocardiographic outcome parameters in patients with recent MI with reduced LVEF over 3 months. Further studies are warranted to confirm the findings. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinical trial ID: IRCT20111206008307N39. Registration date: 27 October 2022. https://www.irct.ir/trial/66216.
