    AbstractNon-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) is characterized by left ventricular dilatation and contractile dysfunction with severe morbidity and mortality. Sodium glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors significantly reduce cardiovascular events for heart failure patients. We performed to investigate the impact of combined administration of SGLT2 inhibitors on cardiac structure and function in NIDCM patients undergoing conventional therapy. A total of 50 newly diagnosed NIDCM patients received conventional medical therapy, with 23 receiving dapagliflozin 10mg/day in addition (SGLT2i group) and the remaining 27 only receiving conventional therapy (non-SGLT2i group). After 12 months outpatient follow-up, NIDCM patients treated with conventional therapy alone showed a significant reduction of left ventricular end-diastolic dimensions (LVEDd), left ventricular end-systolic dimensions (LVESd), left ventricular end-diastolic volumes (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volumes (LVESV), left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVi) and left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVi), while an increase in fractional shortening (FS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Patients receiving dapagliflozin combined with conventional treatment also demonstrated a significant reduction in left ventricular dimensions and volumes, and a marked increase in cardiac function. In non-SGLT2i groups, the % change in LVEDd, LVESd, LVEDV, LVESV, LVEDVi, LVESVi, FS and LVEF was -2.8%, -4.6%, -6.2%, -10.1%, -6.1%, -10.1%, +9.7%, +11%. A greater absolute % fall in left ventricular volume in SGLT2i groups compared to non-SGLT2i groups resulted in a significant improvement in cardiac function. The results showed that SGLT2i combined with conventional therapy has a better beneficial effect on left ventricular volumes and cardiac function in NIDCM patients.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s).
