{Abstract}: <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Sodium glucose co-transporter2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have exhibited cardioprotective properties in diabetes patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Empagliflozin on changes in echocardiographic parameters.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>This was a post hoc analysis of the EMPA-CARD trial which was a multicenter, triple-blind randomized controlled trial. Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with concomitant history of coronary artery disease were randomized on a 1:1 ratio into two groups receiving either 10 mg/day Empagliflozin or placebo. Patients with a history of heart failure (NYHA class 3-4) and ejection fraction (EF) < 40% were excluded. Trans-thoracic echocardiography was performed at baseline and at 26 weeks of intervention.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>A total of 69 (Empagliflozin = 39 and placebo = 30) patients underwent echocardiography. Significant changes were observed for left ventricular ejection fraction [standard error (SE) = 0.76; beta (95% correlation interval (CrI)] = -5.558 (-7.25; -4.18) and left ventricular end-systolic volume (SE = 1.38; beta (95% CrI) = 3.915 (1.2; 0.66). Other echocardiographic parameters relating to right ventricular or atrial function did not change significantly.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Empagliflozin can have cardioprotective benefits in subjects without HF. Further studies are required to determine the effect of Empagliflozin in non-HF patients.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>The original EMPA-CARD study has been registered in Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials. www.IRCT.ir, Identifier: IRCT20190412043247N2.
