Authors' conclusion

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

Exposure
SGLT2i vs other glucose-lowering strategies
Outcome
MACE: composite of all-cause death and heart failure (HF) hospitalization
Follow-up
