ELUCIDATE Trial: A Single-Center Randomized Controlled Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, is an epochal oral antidiabetic drug that improves cardiorenal outcomes. However, the effect of early dapagliflozin intervention on left ventricular (LV) remodeling in patients with type 2 diabetes free from cardiovascular disease remains unclear.

Methods and results

The ELUCIDATE trial was a prospective, open-label, randomized, active-controlled study that enrolled 76 patients with asymptomatic type 2 diabetes with LV ejection fraction ≥50%, randomized to the dapagliflozin 10 mg/day add-on or standard-of-care group. Speckle-tracking echocardiography-based measurements of the cardiac global longitudinal strain were performed at baseline and 24 weeks after treatment initiation. Patients who received dapagli
