POST-CABGDM: Empagliflozin in Perioperative CABG

Overview

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a condition known to be associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and its role as promoter of atherosclerosis is well stablished. The revascularization surgery is commonly indicated to patients with multivessel coronary disease and kidney injury is a prevalent complication in post operation. This work aims to evaluate the impact of a strategy to control Diabetes Mellitus using inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporters (ISGLT2) in diabetics patients with assigned myocardial revascularization with cardiopulmonary bypass

Random Prospective Study non-blinded with 144 diabetics patients designated to myocardial revascularization with cardiopulmonary bypass . 72 patients will be randomly set to usual treatment provided by health care service and 72 patients will be randomly assigned treatment based on ISGLT2 (Empaglifozin). Patients will receive treatment as set for 3 months until 3 days prior to surgery. Creatinine levels will be measured immediately after surgery and in the following 3 days in post-op. To evaluate the possibility to reduce the acute kidney injury in a randomized group treated with therapy based on ISGLT2.
