The Sodium/Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitor Empagliflozin Inhibits Long QT 3 Late Sodium Currents in a Mutation Specific Manner
2024-04-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) such as empagliflozin have demonstrated substantial cardioprotective effects in patients with or without diabetes. The SGLT2is have been shown to selectively inhibit the late component of cardiac sodium current (late I Na ). Induction of late I Na is also the primary mechanism involved in the pathophysiology of congenital long QT syndrome t...
