Cardioprotective Effects of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors in Patients Undergoing Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation: A Propensity-Matched Cohort Study
- Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology: An International Journal of Arrhythmias and Pacing, December 2025
- Description: Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have proven to be beneficial in improving cardiovascular outcomes and reducing all-cause mortality in patients with T2DM. We aimed to investigate the effect SGLT2i use on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with T2DM who underwent ventricular tachycardia ablation.
