Discontinuation or Continuation of SGLT-2 Inhibitors Before Cardiac Surgery
Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse
Summary
SGLT-2 inhibitors are recommended treatments for managing heart failure patients. In cases of surgery, it is recommended to stop the treatment 3 days before surgery due to the risk of postoperative euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis. However, several data suggest that it may be beneficial to maintain SGLT-2i treatment given the possibility of improving postoperative cardiovascular outcomes. Investigator team wish to conduct a randomized controlled trial to test the hypothesis that preoperative maintenance of SGLT-2i is superior to discontinuing them 3 days before surgery in improving postoperative cardiovascular outcomes.
