Background: The impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) in addition to optimal medical therapy (OMT) on the right ventricular (RV) systolic function using advanced echocardiographic analysis among outpatients with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) has thus far been poorly investigated. Methods: This was a single-center, prospective, single-blinded study in which an echocardiographic expert was blinded to the allocation of the treatment. A total of 36 outpatients with HFrEF were randomized to either OMT or OMT+SGLT2i. Both groups underwent an echocardiographic examination of the RV systolic function at the baseline and at the 3-month follow-up (3mFU). Results: The patients in both groups did not significantly differ with respect to the relevant baseline comorbidities, therapy, and clinical characteristics. The patients receiving OMT+SGLT2i showed a significant improvement from the baseline to the 3mFU in all the measured RV echocardiographic parameters, while for the OMT group, a significant improvement after the 3mFU was observed for TAPSE and s’. The mean percent change from the baseline to the 3mFU was significant when comparing OMT+SGLT2i to the OMT group concerning RV FWS (+91% vs. +28%, p = 0.039), TR maxPG (−27% vs. +19%, p = 0.005), and TR Vmax (−17% vs. +13%, p = 0.008), respectively. Conclusions: Adding SGLT2i to OMT in patients with HFrEF resulted in a greater improvement in the RV systolic function from the baseline to the 3mFU compared to the OMT alone.
