Empagliflozin suppressed cardiac fibrogenesis through sodium-hydrogen exchanger inhibition and modulation of the calcium homeostasis

Abstract Background The novel sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) potentially ameliorates heart failure and reduces cardiac arrhythmia. Cardiac fibrosis plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of HF and atrial myopathy, but the effect of SGLT2i on fibrogenesis remains to be elucid...
