Validation of ERTugliflozin for Inhibiting Cardiac Fibrosis Using Cardiac MRI and Laboratory Parameters in Korean Heart Failure Patients With Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy(VERTICAL)

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-12-01

Summary

Based on recent studies demonstrating SGLT2 inhibitors' favorable effects on cardiovascular outcomes especially for heart failure, the investigators hypothesize that sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, ertugliflozin, is effective on reducing cardiac fibrosis in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy so the investigators try to examine this hypothesis in a single-center, double-blind, randomized controlled study using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).

This study is a prospective, single-center, randomized, double-blind, two arm parallel group, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy. Patients meeting inclusion criteria without any exclusion criteria will be randomized 1:1 to ertugliflozin or placebo therapy, and cardiovascular functional assessment and clinical event follow-up will be undertaken.
