In diabetic patients with severe AS, LVEF < 50%, and EVCD undergoing TAVI, the use of SGLT2i was associated with a more favorable cardiac remodeling and a reduced risk of MACE at 2-year follow-up.
Study context
- Population
- Diabetic patients with severe aortic stenosis, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50% and extra-valvular cardiac damage undergoing TAVI; 24% SGLT2i users
- Participants
- 311 patients
- Exposure
- SGLT2i vs other glucose-lowering strategies
- Outcome
- MACE: composite of all-cause death and heart failure (HF) hospitalization
- Follow-up
- 2-year follow-up

| Outcome | P value |
|---|---|
| LV recovery · within 1 year after TAVISGLT2i vs no-SGLT2i · higher with SGLT2i, despite lower baseline LVEF | P = 0.032 |
| LV recovery · within 1 year after TAVISGLT2i vs no-SGLT2i · subgroup baseline LVEF ≤ 30%; higher with SGLT2i | P = 0.026 |
| Progression to a worse EVCD stageMore likely without SGLT2i | P = 0.018 |
