Massive study tests diabetes drug for heart attack recovery
NCT ID NCT07198191
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a common diabetes medicine (SGLT2 inhibitor) can help prevent future heart problems in people with type 2 diabetes who have had a heart attack. Researchers will compare health records of 200,000 adults in Korea who took either an SGLT2 inhibitor or another diabetes drug after their heart attack. The goal is to see which group has fewer deaths, heart attacks, or strokes.
