Efficacy and Safety of Dapagliflozin in Preventing Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Catheter Ablation

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia, particularly prevalent in the elderly population. Catheter ablation is a common treatment for AF, but post-ablation recurrence of arrhythmias remains a significant clinical challenge. Dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor primarily used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, has shown potential in the field of cardiology, particularly for treating heart failure patients. Some studies suggest that dapagliflozin may reduce cardiac workload, improve heart function, and could even help in the management of atrial fibrillation. Therefore, this study aims to explore whether dapagliflozin can reduce the recurrence of arrhythmias following atrial fibrillation catheter ablation.
