Abstract

Background: Heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction is defined as a left ventricular ejection fraction of 41–49%. Currently, the incidence of heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction increases with age, so early aggressive treatment with many groups of drugs as recommended helps improves the rate of hospital readmission and death. Objectives: To analyze the results of treatment with a regimen containing the drug dapagliflozin individuals with heart failure with mildly-reduced ejection fraction. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study with intervention without control group on 41 patients with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction at Kien Giang General Hospital. Results: The mean age of the participants was 65.7 ± 13.3. Males include a larger percentage than females (57.2% vs 46.3%); heart failure in the family history (12.2%); number of years affected by heart failure 4.8 plus or minus 2.2. NT-proBNP dramatically dropped to 145.3 ± 38.2 pg/mL after improving to 1046.1 ± 2941.9 pg/mL. After 3 months of followup, the readmission rate was 12.2% (month 1), and 17.1% (during 3 months). Conclusion: A combination regimen with dapagliflozin in the treatment of heart failure with a mildly reduced ejection fraction is effective in improving clinical symptoms, reducing NT-proBNP levels, and reducing hospital readmission rates within 3 months.
