摘要

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin (DAPA) on malignant ventricular arrhythmias (MVA) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods

A single-center, prospective and observational cohort study was conducted. We enrolled AMI patients from the ChangZhou Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry between January 2018 and November 2023. They were divided into two groups according to the use of dapagliflozin. The median follow-up time was 211 days. The primary endpoint of the study was the incidence of MVA during hospitalization, and the secondary endpoint was all-cause mortality rate during the follow-up period. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis and multifactorial logistic regression analysis were performed to assess the association between DAPA and the risk of MVA. Enrolled patients were matched on a 1:1 propensity score.

Results

Of the 2607 AMI patients enrolled, MVA were reported postoperatively in 123 (4.7%)patients. Cardiovascular death occurred in 93 (3.6%) patients. The average age of the enrolled patients was 65.03 ± 0.27 years. Of participants assigned to dapagliflozin, 8 out of 363 patients (2.2%) experienced MVA compared with 115 out of 2244 patients (5.1%) in the control group (odds ratio, OR = 0.392; 95% confidence interval, 95% CI: 0.171–0.900; P = 0.027). After 1:1 propensity score matching, DAPA remained able to reduce the risk of MVA in patients with AMI. (OR = 0.340; 95% CI: 0.121–0.960; P = 0.042). At a median follow-up of 211 days, all-cause mortality remained lower in the DAPA group than in the control group after matching (P = 0.033).

Conclusion

Dapagliflozin may attenuate the risk of MVA and all-cause mortality in elderly AMI patients, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic adjunct. However, these findings require validation in large-scale randomized trials.
