Ertugliflozin's Effect on Heart Function in Diabetic Patients After Myocardial Infarction

May 27, 2026 updated by: Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital

Effect of Ertugliflozin on NT-proBNP and Cardiac Function After Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Prospective, Randomized, Open-Label, Blinded Endpoint (PROBE) Trial

This prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint (PROBE) trial evaluates the efficacy of early ertugliflozin initiation (10 mg daily) compared to standard care alone on cardiac function in 476 adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) following a first acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The primary objective is to assess the change in NT-proBNP levels from baseline to 26 weeks, while secondary endpoints explore echocardiographic parameters (such as LVEF and LAVi) and metabolic indices including blood ketone levels, HbA1c, and body weight. Eligible participants are randomized in a 1:1 ratio within 72 hours of AMI onset and followed for a total of 30 weeks to monitor both efficacy outcomes and safety events, with a specific focus on serious adverse events like severe hypoglycemia, genital infections, and ketoacidosis.
