Abstrakt: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) poses a significant global health burden despite advancements in its management. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, primarily used in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), have gained recent consideration as potential agents for ACS management due to their cardiovascular benefits beyond glycemic control. This study aimed to assess the effects of empagliflozin on left cardiac parameters in ACS patients. PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched thoroughly to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Four RCTs involving 701 patients were included. Compared to placebo, empagliflozin significantly reduced left ventricular end-systolic volume index (mean difference (MD): -2.38, 95% CI: -3.95 to -0.80, p = 0.0032), left ventricular mass index (MD: -2.76, 95% CI: -4.95 to -0.56, p = 0.0137), and left ventricular filling pressure (MD: -0.59, 95% CI: -1.07 to -0.10, p = 0.0189). However, empagliflozin treatment did not yield a statistically significant change in left ventricular ejection fraction (MD: 1.21, 95% CI: -0.05 to 2.48, p = 0.0603) nor a significant change in left ventricular end-diastolic volume (MD: -4.49, 95% CI: -14.24 to 5.26, p = 0.37), left ventricular end-systolic volume (MD: -5.19, 95% CI: -10.77 to 0.39, p = 0.0682), and left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (MD: -2.20, 95% CI: -4.59 to 0.19, p = 0.0718). Empagliflozin provides favorable effects on left cardiac structural parameters in ACS patients. This suggests a potential role for SGLT2 inhibitors as adjunctive therapy in ACS management, warranting further investigation into their mechanisms and long-term clinical outcomes.
