Effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on ventricular function in systemic right ventricular failure by Lorna Swan, Gruschen R Veldtman, Hubert W Vliegen, Philippine Kiès, Filip Zemrak, Amanda Hunter, Anastasia D Egorova, Monique RM Jongbloed, J Wouter Jukema, Simon T MacDonald, Niki L Walker, Ali N Zaidi, Madelien V Regeer, Bart JA Mertens, Ralph ML Neijenhuis, Ari M Cedars

“…In the first 50 days, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion also improved significantly in all patients (1.2 mm per month, p=0.006), and stabilised afterwards (p=0.721).Conclusions SGLT2i therapy is associated with improvements in systolic ventricular function in sRV failure patients. Despite early improvement in sRV FAC, there was a negative longer term correlation with subpulmonary left ventricular pacing, potentially reflecting adverse effects of subpulmonary ventricular pacing on sRV function.…”
