1082-P: Safety of SGLT2 Inhibitors in Heart Transplant Recipients

Le résumé fourni par la source

Objective: The safety of SGLT2 inhibitor (SGLT2I) use in patients receiving heart transplants is unknown. We aimed to evaluate key measures of safety after initiation of SGLT2I in a cohort of heart transplant recipients. Methods: Patients in the University of Colorado Health system who received a heart transplant between 1991 and 2022 were included if an SGLT2I was prescribed post-transplant and continued for at least 1 month. Number of urinary tract infections (UTI), urogenital yeast infections (UGI), and ED visits and hospital admissions for skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) and euglycemic DKA (eDKA) were collected by chart review for the duration of SGLT2I use. Vital signs and lab values were collected at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months after SGLT2I initiation. Least squared means and mean differences were extracted from a random intercept mixed model with an unstructured covariance matrix for each variable. Results: Forty-six (46) patients met criteria for analysis. Mean age was 56.1 years, 80.4% had DM, and 84.8% had CKD at the time of SGLT2I initiation. Mean time on SGLT2I was 15 months (range 1-91 months). Three patients (6.5%) developed UTI and one developed UGI. Three (6.5%) had ED visits and admissions for SSTI: 1 had a post-surgical scalp infection and 2 had lower extremity cellulitis (1 led to hallux gangrene and amputation). No patients developed eDKA. Seven patients (15.2%) discontinued their SGLT2I: 2 for UTI and 1 each for hypotension, cost, fatigue, dialysis, and unspecified. Thirty-six (36) patients with adequate data over time were included in the analysis to assess change in vital signs and labs. There were no statistically significant changes from baseline to 3 months or 6 months after SGTL2I initiation for weight, BMI, SBP, DBP, Cr, eGFR, serum Na or serum K. Conclusions: In this sample of heart transplant recipients on SGLT2I, there were few urogenital and SSTI infections, no eDKA, and no significant change in renal function or electrolytes, which adds support for the safety of SGLT2I in this population.
