This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research, provides $1,543,226 to The General Hospital Corporation (doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital) to conduct a randomized controlled trial assessing the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on coronary flow reserve and epicardial adipose tissue among women living with HIV. The 5-year project, which commenced on September 1, 2024, aims to identify novel interventions to address the elevated risk of type 2 myocardial infarction faced by this population. The study will utilize cardiac PET and CT imaging to evaluate the cardiovascular impacts of SGLT2 inhibition, a class of medications originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes but which have demonstrated cardioprotective effects in some patient groups.
