Dapagliflozin vs Empagliflozin on Flow Mediated Dilation in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Summary

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a considered one of the main global health challenges; the vascular endothelium plays an important role in vascular dysfunction in DM; Hyperglycemia induced by it is recognized as the main factor for the development of vascular complications of the disease, secondary to a reduction in nitric oxide production; "flow-mediated dilation" is the most commonly used technique for the evaluation of endothelial function, being the non-invasive method most widely used. It has been reported that with the use of SGLT2 inhibitors the development of cardiovascular complications in patients with T2DM is a decrease, as well the arterial stiffness, endothelial dysfunction and increasing on the shear stress and blood viscosity; and experimentally.
