First seen Feb 25, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study tests whether dapagliflozin, a drug used for diabetes, can reduce heart muscle damage in people having a severe heart attack (STEMI). About 256 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo right before a procedure to open blocked arteries. The main goal is to see if the drug shrinks the size of the heart injury, which could improve recovery and lower future risks.
