Abstract
Coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) often co-occur, presenting substantial health risks, particularly following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). While percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a prevalent treatment, complications such as microvascular dysfunction may lead to heart failure, necessitating additional therapies. This editorial examines the emerging roles of sacubitril/valsartan and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors in managing post-PCI. Recent research investigates the combined effects of dapagliflozin and telmisartan on myocardial microperfusion in post-AMI heart failure patients with T2DM. The findings suggest that this combination enhances myocardial microcirculation, improves cardiac function, and achieves better glycemic control, with a reduced incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events. Despite ongoing challenges, the integration of dapagliflozin and sacubitril/valsartan represents a significant advancement in post-AMI care. Further investigation in larger cohorts and more diverse patient populations is required to confirm its long-term clinical outcomes.
Core Tip: This study highlights the combined use of dapagliflozin and sacubitril in patients with post-acute myocardial infarction heart failure and type 2 diabetes. The observed improvements in myocardial microcirculation, cardiac function, and glycemic control were significant, alongside a reduced incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events. The findings underscore the potential synergistic benefits of this therapeutic combination; however, long-term outcomes require further investigation. The results support the need for personalized treatment strategies to enhance cardiovascular care in this high-risk patient group.
