Heart failure & cardiomyopathies
Effects of SGLT2 inhibition on incident heart failure in carriers of cardiomyopathy-associated genetic variants
Study context
- Population
- Adults with T2DM and increased CV risk with sequence data; carriers vs noncarriers of P/LP variants in high-confidence cardiomyopathy genes121 carriers
- Participants
- 12,685 adults
- Comparison
- Dapagliflozin vs placebo in carriers vs noncarriers of cardiomyopathy variants
- Primary endpoint
- Hospitalization for HF (HHF)
- Follow-up
- Median 4.2 years
Methodological detailswhole-exome sequencing, genetic subgroup analysis

Primary result
As reported in the abstract
HHF, by cardiomyopathy variant carrier status · median 4.2 years
Dapagliflozin vs PlaceboHazard ratio (95% CI)
Carriers
0.18(0.04–0.86)
Noncarriers
0.70(0.57–0.86)
- Absolute risk reduction, carriers
- 13.0%
- Absolute risk reduction, noncarriers
- 1.0%
Further findings
Hospitalization for HF (HHF) absolute risk reduction, no prior heart failure (HF) (subgroup)
- Absolute risk reduction, carriers without prior HF
- 12.8%
- Absolute risk reduction, noncarriers
- 0.6%
- 82% of carriers had no prior HF
- Interaction P 0.01
