摘要

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) represents a significant health burden, exacerbated by the global increase in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This condition contributes substantially to the morbidity and mortality associated with diabetes, primarily through myocardial dysfunction independent of coronary artery disease. Current treatment strategies focus on managing symptoms rather than targeting the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, highlighting a critical need for specific therapeutic interventions. This review explores the multifaceted role of empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor, in addressing the complex etiology of DCM. We discuss the key mechanisms by which hyperglycemia contributes to cardiac dysfunction, including oxidative stress, mitochondrial impairment, and inflammation, and how empagliflozin mitigates these effects. Empagliflozin’s effects on reducing hospitalization for heart failure and potentially lowering cardiovascular mortality mark it as a promising candidate for DCM management. By elucidating the underlying mechanisms through which empagliflozin operates, this review underscores its therapeutic potential and paves the way for future research into its broader applications in diabetic cardiac care. This synthesis aims to foster a deeper understanding of DCM and encourage the integration of empagliflozin into treatment paradigms, offering hope for improved outcomes in patients suffering from this debilitating condition.
