abstract = {Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have
cardiovascular protective properties in addition to the
metabolic effects and represent a cornerstone of treating
patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). We hypothesised
that empagliflozin reduces tissue sodium content in patients
with CHF.In a double-blind, randomised (2:1),
placebo-controlled, parallel-group, clinical trial, 74
patients with NYHA class II-III CHF and an ejection fraction
of $49\%$ or less received empagliflozin 10 mg once daily or
placebo for 3 months. In each patient, tissue sodium content
of the lower leg was assessed non-invasively by sodium-MRI
(23Na-MRI) at baseline, after 1 and 3 months of
treatment.After 1 and 3 months treatment with empagliflozin
(n = 48), a significant decrease in skin sodium content was
observed (1 month: 22.8 ± 6.1 vs. 21.6 ± 6.0 AU, p =
0.039; 3 months: 22.9 ± 6.1 vs. 21.6 ± 6.1 AU, p = 0.013),
while there was no change in muscle sodium and muscle water
content. In direct comparison, the change in skin sodium
content between baseline and 3 months was - 1.3 ± 3.5 AU in
the empagliflozin group versus 0.6 ± 3.5 AU in the placebo
group (p for between-group difference = 0.022). No
significant difference regarding change in muscle sodium and
in muscle water content was observed after 3 months
treatment between the two groups.This trial showed a
significant decrease in skin sodium content after 1 and 3
months of treatment with empagliflozin. The decrease in skin
sodium content may reflect a decrease in subclinical
micro-oedema or/and in non-osmotic bound tissue sodium, both
reported to impair left ventricular function.NCT03128528 (
