Summary

This study tests whether the diabetes drug empagliflozin can reduce the 'no-reflow' phenomenon—where blood flow is not fully restored—in 162 heart attack patients undergoing angioplasty. Participants receive the drug or a placebo before and for 3 days after the procedure. The goal is to see if the drug improves blood flow and reduces heart damage.
