Abstract:

AIM: To assess the effects of dapagliflozin on intima-medial thickness(IMT) of carotid artery in type 2 diabetic mellitus patients. METHODS: A total of 113 patients of type 2 diabetic mellitus were divided into dapagliflozin group (58 cases) and control group (55 cases).All patients were recruited in this randomized trial. Based on the intervention of life style,all patients undertook oral aspirin 0.1 g/d and atorvastatin 20 mg/d. The dapagliflozin group was given dapagliflozin 10 mg every day, while the control group was given other oral antidiabetic drug with/without insulin therapy. Course of treatment was 24 weeks. The various biochemical indices and carotid artery IMT were detected and the data were analyzed and compared between the two groups. RESULTS: In the dapagliflozin group, the IMT decreased after dapagliflozin therapy (P<0.01).In the control group, the distinction of IMT had not statistical significant between before and after therapy (P>0.05).There were significant differences in carotid artery IMT between the two groups after therapy (P<0.01), while there was no statistically significant difference between decreased blood sugar and blood pressure level (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Dapagliflozin can decrease the IMT in patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus, which is closely related to cardiovascular benefit in patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus.
