Peri-procedure SGLT-2 inhibitor to reduce heart attack damage and heart remodeling
Official title: Peri-tREatment of SGLT-2 Inhibitor on Myocardial Infarct Size and Remodeling Index Measured by Cardiac maGnetic rEsonance Imaging in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction and High Risk of Heart Failure Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Run by Samsung Medical Center · NCT04899479 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will test whether taking an SGLT‑2 diabetes medicine around the time of PCI can shrink the heart attack scar and limit heart remodeling in adults with acute myocardial infarction who are at high risk for heart failure.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults (≥18) with type 1 acute myocardial infarction (STEMI or NSTEMI) undergoing PCI who are at high risk for heart failure (for example LVEF <50% or signs of pulmonary congestion) and can provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who cannot undergo PCI, who require immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or who have contraindications to SGLT‑2 inhibitors (for example severe kidney impairment or other contraindications) are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Adults with acute myocardial infarction (STEMI or NSTEMI) at high risk for heart failure who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention will be given an SGLT‑2 inhibitor around the time of the procedure or receive standard care. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) will be used to measure infarct size and markers of myocardial remodeling, and clinical outcomes and safety events will be recorded. The trial compares CMR parameters and clinical endpoints between the SGLT‑2 group and a control group to determine peri-procedural effects. The protocol is conducted at Samsung Medical Center and focuses on early intervention to limit reperfusion injury and subsequent remodeling.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, peri-procedural SGLT‑2 inhibitor use could reduce infarct size and adverse remodeling, potentially lowering heart failure and death after acute MI.
How similar studies have gone: SGLT‑2 inhibitors have shown clear benefits in chronic heart failure and long-term cardiovascular outcomes, but evidence specifically testing peri-PCI use to reduce acute infarct size is limited and largely exploratory.
