Abstract

INTRODUCTION: We aimed to evaluate the trajectory of two surrogates of fluid overload -antigen carbohydrate 125 (CA125) and amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)- after the addition of oral empagliflozin to usual care in a cohort of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS AND RESULTS: From October 2015 to February 2019, 60 ambulatory patients with CHF and T2D were retrospectively included. The primary endpoint was to assess the longitudinal trajectory of plasma levels of CA125 and NT-proBNP after empagliflozin initiation. Changes in quantitative variables were evaluated using linear mixed regression. Median CA125 and NT-proBNP at baseline were 17 (11-75) U/mL and 1662 (647-4230) pg/mL, respectively. A total of 510 outpatient visits were recorded [median (interquartile range) of visits per patient: 6 (4-11)] during a median of 1.78 years. We found a significant and steady decrease in the log of CA125 after empagliflozin initiation (p < 0.001). Conversely, the log of NT-proBNP predicted trajectory did not significantly change (p = 0.425). CONCLUSION: In this cohort of patients with CHF and T2D, empagliflozin initiation was associated with a significant decrease in CA125 levels without modifying the trajectory of NT-proBNP. Considering that CA125 has emerged as a surrogate marker of tissue congestion, we hypothesize that empagliflozin might predominantly promote extravascular decongestion.
