Summary

This study is planned to investigate the impact of Empagliflozin on biomarkers of heart failure in patients with myocardial infarction with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus within 6 months after the event.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Myocardial infarction with evidence of significant myocardial necrosis defined as a rise in creatinine kinase >800 U/l and a troponin T-level (or troponin I-level) >10x upper limit of normal (ULN). In addition at least 1 of the following criteria must be the met:
  • Symptoms of ischemia
  • ECG (electrocardiogram) changes indicative of new ischemia (new ST-T changes or new LBBB)
  • Imaging evidence of new regional wall motion abnormality
  • 18 - 80 years of age
  • Informed consent has to be given in written form
  • estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 45 ml/min/1.73m2
  • Blood pressure before first drug dosing: Riva Rocci (RR) systolic >110 mmHg
  • Blood pressure before first drug dosing: Riva Rocci (RR) diastolic >70 mmHg
  • ≤72h after myocardial infarction (after the performance of a coronary angiography)

Exclusion Criteria

  • Any other form of diabetes mellitus than type 2 diabetes mellitus, history of diabetic ketoacidosis
  • Blood potential hydrogen (pH) 1 episode of severe hypoglycemia within the last 6 months and treatment with insulin or sulfonylurea
  • Females of childbearing potential without adequate contraceptive methods (i.e. sterilization, intrauterine device, vasectomized partner; or medical history of hysterectomy)
  • Acute symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) or genital infection
  • Patients currently being treated with any SGLT-2 inhibitor or having received treatment with any SGLT-2 inhibitor within the 4 weeks prior to the screening visit
