Cardiorenal protection with dapagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: a registry cross-sectional study

Cardiovasc DiabetolPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

Dapagliflozin exerted robust cardioprotective effects against PMI/4aMI in patients with T2DM and CCS undergoing PCI, particularly among patients in high-risk subgroups, but it did not significantly reduce the risk of CI-AKI. These findings support the peri-PCI use of dapagliflozin to mitigate cardiac risk while highlighting the need for further research to elucidate its renal effects in this population.
