Effect of DAPAgliflozin on Myocardial Fibrosis and Ventricular Function in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction-DAPA-STEMI Trial.

ABSTRACT: Background: Myocardial fibrosis leads to ventricular dysfunction and worsened prognosis, especially after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) offer cardiovascular benefits by reducing markers of myocardial fibrosis and fibroblast activity. However, the effects of SGLT2i on myocardial fibrosis deposition among STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have not yet been evaluated. Study and Design: The effect of DAPAgliflozin on myocardial fibrosis and ventricular function in patients with STEMI (DAPA-STEMI) trial is a phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The study aims to assess the effects of dapagliflozin on myocardial fibrosis an
