Impact of DApagliflozin on Cardiac Function Following Anterior Myocardial Infarction in Non-Diabetic Patients (DACAMI)
Anterior MI
About this trial
This is an interventional prevention trial for Anterior MI focused on measuring Heart Failure, Anterior MI, Dapagliflozin, Sodium Glucose Co-transporter 2 inhibitor, Anterior STEMI, Anterior ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients admitted with ECG Criteria for Anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction according to the fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction*, ** & show echocardiographic evidence of reduced LV ejection fraction <50% & have undergone successful reperfusion by primary percutaneous coronary angiography (pPCI).
New ST segment elevation in contagious precordial leads consistent anatomically with the anterior wall of myocardium:
- Men ≥ 40 years: 2 mV in leads V2-V3 &/or 1 mV in other precordial leads
- Men <40 years: 2.5 mV in leads V2-V3 &/or 1 mV in other precordial leads
- Women (regardless of age): 1.5 mV in leads V2-V3 &/or 1 mV in other precordial leads ** Patients with admission ECG showing DeWinter's Syndrome, Wellen Syndrome, New onset left bundle branch block, new onset right bundle branch block will also be included.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with Diabetes Miletus (Type 1 (DMT2), Type 1 (DMT1), secondary diabetes (e.g., endocrinopathies)
- Patients already diagnosed with heart failure prior to this event
- Patients on cardiotoxic chemotherapeutic medications.
- Patients with haemoglobinopathies.
- Patients with chronic organ damage (i.e., chronic hepatitis with MELD score >10, Stage 4 & 5 renal disease).
- Patients already on SGLT2i.
- Patients who will require additional anticoagulant therapy (i.e.: patients with transthoracic echocardiographic evidence of left ventricular thrombus).
- Patients with contraindications for use of dapagliflozin including patients with severely impaired renal function (eGFR <30ml/min/1.73m2) &/OR previous history of genitourinary infections (i.e.: urosepsis, pyelonephritis & fournier's gangrene) &/OR at high risk of such infections.
