Graphical abstract of our findings.
(Fig. 4J; Sci Rep 11, Article number: 18384 (2021))
We found empagliflozin enhances capillarization in heart and ameliorate cardiac dysfunction upon left ventricle pressure overload.
Together with our previous studies in Nature 2007, J Clin Invest 2010, Cell Metab 2012, our studies indicate the critical role of maintaining capillaries in heart.
