Cardiometabolic Outcomes with Dapagliflozin After Myocardial Infarction by Baseline Ejection Fraction: DAPA-MI

ESC Heart FailPublished Secondary analysis of the DAPA-MI randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

Regardless of baseline LVEF, dapagliflozin resulted in significant cardiometabolic benefits versus placebo, although there was no impact on the composite of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for HF.

Study context

Population
Patients after acute myocardial infarction (MI) without established diabetes or heart failure (HF), categorised by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at randomisation (<50% or ≥50%)with LVEF data, ≥1 dose
Participants
3,751 patients
Comparison
Dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily vs placebo
Primary endpoint
Hierarchical composite (win ratio) of death, HF hospitalisation, non-fatal MI, AF/flutter, T2DM, NYHA class at last visit and body weight decrease ≥5%
Methodological detailssubgroup analysis by baseline LVEF
  • Subgroup analysis by baseline LVEF
