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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- 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.

Inclusion Criteria : * Participant must approved the informed consent. * Confirmed MI, either STEMI or NSTEMI, according to the fourth universal definition of MI (Thygesen et al 2019). * Evidence of impaired regional or global LV systolic function at any timepoint during current MI-related hospitalisation with Ejection Fraction\<50%(established with echocardiogram, radionuclide ventriculogram, contrast angiography or cardiac MRI) or Symptoms of Acute heart failure without cardiogenic Shock. * Hemodynamically stable (no episodes of symptomatic hypotension, or arrhythmia with haemodynamic compromise in the last 24 hours). Exclusion Criteria: * Known type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or T2DM at the time for admission. * Chronic symptomatic HF with a prior HHF within the last year and known reduced ejection fraction (LVEF≤40 %), documented before the current MI hospitalization. * Patients with cardiogenic shock who received vasoactive drugs during index. * Hospitalization Severe (eGFR \<20 mL/min/1.73 m2 by local laboratory), unstable or rapidly progressing renal disease at the time of randomization * Severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C) at the time of inclusion into the trial. * Active malignancy requiring treatment at the time of screening. * Any non-CV condition, eg malignancy, with a life expectancy of less than one years based on the investigator´s clinical judgement. * Currently on treatment, or with an indication for treatment, with a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2-inhibitor)
