CLINICAL EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF DAPAGLIFLOZIN IN HEART FAILURE WITH MILDLY REDUCED EJECTION FRACTION: REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE AT CAN THO CENTRAL GENERAL HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin in patients with HFmrEF at Can Tho Central General Hospital. Objectives: To assess the clinical efficacy of dapagliflozin in HFmrEF and analyze its safety under real-world clinical practice. Methods: An uncontrolled clinical intervention was conducted in 99 patients. Data collected included clinical and paraclinical characteristics, length of stay, NYHA class changes, rehospitalization, and 30–90-day mortality. Results: Mean age was 70.43 ± 12.65 years; comorbidities included hypertension (98%), dyslipidemia (78.8%), and diabetes (35.4%). Mean LVEF was 43.93 ± 2.71%, with markedly elevated NT-proBNP. Dapagliflozin improved symptoms, enhanced NYHA class, reduced rehospitalization, with mean hospitalization 9.83 ± 3.31 days. Mortality was 3% and composite adverse events 19.2%, indicating a favorable safety profile. Conclusion: Dapagliflozin is an effective and safe therapeutic option, improving quality of life and prognosis in HFmrEF patients.
