Heart attack drug shows promise for Non-Diabetics

NCT ID NCT06903754

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This completed study tested whether SGLT2 inhibitors (dapagliflozin or empagliflozin), taken daily, can reduce heart failure hospitalizations, repeat heart attacks, and death in 450 non-diabetic patients who had a heart attack treated with stenting. Participants received the drug on top of standard care. The goal is to see if these medications, already used in diabetes, can also protect the heart in people without diabetes.

Active substance

SGLT2 inhibitors (dapagliflozin or empagliflozin)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that SGLT2 inhibitors help prevent heart failure and reduce hospital readmissions in non-diabetic patients after a heart attack.

What could go wrong

The trial is completed but results are not yet widely confirmed. Benefits seen in diabetic patients may not fully apply to non-diabetics, and side effects like dehydration or kidney issues are possible.
