Brief summary

This prospective, single-center observational study evaluates the effect of dapagliflozin 10 mg/day on right ventricular-pulmonary artery coupling measured by the TAPSE/PASP ratio in 72 patients with left ventricular ejection fraction \<50% after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). The primary outcome is the change in TAPSE/PASP ratio from 1 month after surgery (before dapagliflozin) to 7 months after surgery (after 6 months of dapagliflozin therapy).

Detailed description

Patients undergo echocardiography at three time points: pre-operatively (T0), at 1 month post-surgery before dapagliflozin initiation (T1), and at 7 months post-surgery after 6 months of dapagliflozin 10 mg/day (T2). The primary objective is to evaluate the change in the TAPSE/PASP ratio from T1 to T2. Secondary objectives are to evaluate changes from T1 to T2 in: * Pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) * Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) * Right ventricular fractional area change (RV FAC) * Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) * NT-proBNP levels * Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-23 (KCCQ-23) overall summary score The study aims to provide mechanistic insight into the effects of SGLT2 inhibition on right ventricular-pulmonary artery coupling after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in TAPSE/PASP Ratio1 month after surgery (before dapagliflozin) to 7 months after surgery (after 6 months of dapagliflozin 10 mg/day)The change in the ratio of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) to pulmonary artery pressure (PASP) from 1 month after surgery (before dapagliflozin) to 7 months after surgery (after 6 months of dapagliflozin 10 mg/day)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure (PASP)1 month after surgery (before dapagliflozin) to 7 months after surgery (after 6 months of dapagliflozin)The change in pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) calculated as 4 x (TR Vmax)˄2 + estimated right atrial pressure (RAP) from 1 month after surgery (before dapagliflozin) to 7 months after surgery (after 6 months of dapagliflozin 10 mg/day)
Change in Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR)1 month after surgery (before dapagliflozin) to 7 months after surgery (after 6 months of dapagliflozin)The change in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) calculated as (TR Vmax / VTI RVOT) x 10 + 0.16 (wood units) from 1 month after surgery (before dapagliflozin) to 7 months after surgery (after 6 months of dapagliflozin 10 mg/day)
Change in NT-proBNP Levels1 month after surgery (before dapagliflozin) to 7 months after surgery (after 6 months of dapagliflozin)The change in N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels (pg/ml) from 1 month after surgery (before dapagliflozin) to 7 month after surgery (after 6 months of dapagliflozin 10 mg/day)
Change in Quality of Life (KCCQ-23 Overall Summary Score)1 month after surgery (before dapagliflozin) to 7 months after surgery (after 6 months of dapagliflozin)The change in qulity of life assessed by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-23 (KCCQ-23) Overall Summary Score (range 0 to 100), higher score indicates better quality of life) from 1 month after surgery (before dapagliflozin) to 7 months after surgery (after 6 months of dapagliflozin 10 mg/day)
Change in Right Ventricular Fractional Area Change (RV FAC)1 month after surgery (before dapagliflozin) to 7 months after surgery (after 6 months of dapagliflozin)The change in right ventricular fractional area change (RV FAC) calculated as (RVEDA - RVESA) / RVEDA x 100 (%) from 1 month after surgery (before dapagliflozin) to 7 months after surgery ( after 6 months of dapagliflozin 10 mg/day)
Change in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF)1 month after surgery (before dapagliflozin) to 7 months after surgery (after 6 months of dapagliflozin)The change in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) calculated by biplane Simpson method (%) from 1 month after surgery (befiore dapagliflozin) to 7 months after surgery (after 6 months of dapagliflozin 10 mg/day)
