Abstract: Objective To investigate the efficacy of dapagliflozin in the elderly patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) complicated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods The clinical data of 80 elderly patients with coronary heart disease complicated with T2DM and HFrEF who were hospitalized in Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of Anqing Municipal Hospital from November 2019 to November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into dapagliflozin group (n=44) and control group (n=36) according to whether they used dapagliflozin or not. The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) during hospitalization and follow-up period was recorded and analyzed in each group. Results There were no significant differences in the clinical baseline data between the two groups (P>0.05). However, the overall incidence rate of MACEs was significantly lower in dapagliflozin group than that in control group (4.54% vs. 19.44%, P=0.036). Cox regression analysis showed that the use of dapagliflozin was a strong protective factor for MACEs in the elderly patients with HFrEF complicated with T2DM (HR=0.030, 95%CI:0.010-0.921). Conclusions Dapagliflozin is a protective factor in the elderly patients with HFrEF complicated with T2DM undergoing PCI,which could reduce the incidence rate of medium and long-term MACEs.
