Protocol summary

Study aim
The effects of empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, on supraventricular arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) in heart failure patients who have an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD)
Design
Before and after clinical trial on 30 patients
Settings and conduct
The study group is outpatients who take the drug at home for 3 months. First, the patient's demographic information is received and recorded in the hospital clinic. Then, patients are referred to a reference laboratory for checking CBC, electrolyte, blood glucose, lipid, liver, kidney, and thyroid function profiles. If eligible for the study, they will be evaluated for the frequency of supraventricular arrhythmias recorded by the ICD during the past 3 months. Then, empagliflozin 10 mg/day will administrated for three months. After three months of intervention, patients are re-evaluated for the frequency of supraventricular arrhythmias, and risk factors for supraventricular arrhythmias. The results are compared with the data of the patients three months before the intervention.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Adult patients with functional class I to III heart failure who have had an ICD for at least 3 months before will be included in the study. Patients who have previously used or have contraindications to SGLT2 inhibitors will not be included in the study.
Intervention groups
Taking empagliflozin tablets, 10 mg/day in the morning, regardless of food, for three months
Main outcome variables
Frequency of the supraventricular arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL)
