In this study, a meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the therapeutic effect of Dapagliflozin (DAPA) on animals suffering from myocardial ischemia reperfusion compared to the group that did not receive treatment.
According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria two researchers performed the primary and secondary screening based on the title abstract and full text. After data extraction, meta-analysis was performed using STATA software. Standardized mean differences were used to analyze the results of the reported studies. Subgroup analysis and quality control of articles were also conducted.
A total of 21 separate experiments showed that DAPA increased mean fractional shortening (%FS) and ejection fraction (%EF) compared to the untreated animals. A significant reduction in the weight and size of the infarcted area and significant increases in dp/dt+, dp/dt-, left ventricular end-systolic internal dimensions (LVIDs), left ventricular end-diastolic internal dimensions (LVIDd), Volume systole and Volume diastole were observed in treated animals.
DAPA has the potential to become a candidate for the treatment of post-ischemic heart damage, pending animal and human studies to validate this.
