Summary

This is a randomized trial of the addition of dapagliflozin to patients with or without type 2 diabetes hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Participants will be recruited following an initial standard evaluation in the ED and randomized within 24 hours of presentation for ADHF in a 1:1 fashion to protocolized diuretic therapy or dapagliflozin + protocolized diuretic therapy.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Age of 18 years or older
  • Randomized within 24 of presentation during a hospital admission for hypervolemic decompensated heart failure defined as:
  • pulmonary artery catheterization with a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure greater than 19mmHg plus a systemic physical exam finding of hypervolemia (peripheral edema, ascites, or pulmonary edema on auscultation)
  • in the absence of pulmonary artery catheterization data 2 of the following signs or symptoms: peripheral edema, ascites, jugular venous pressure > 10mmHg, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, 5-pound weight gain, or signs of congestion on chest x-ray or lung ultrasound
  • Planned use of IV loop diuretic therapy during current hospitalization
  • eGFR of 25 ml/min/1.73m2 by the MDRD equation or greater

Exclusion Criteria

  • Type 1 diabetes
  • Serum glucose < 80mg/dl at enrollment
  • Systolic blood pressure < 90mmHg at enrollment
  • Requirement of intravenous inotropic therapy or anticipated need during the study
  • History of hypersensitivity to any SGLT2 inhibitors
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Severe anemia (Hemoglobin < 7.5g/dl)
  • Severe uncorrected aortic or mitral stenosis
  • Inability to perform standing weights or measure urine output accurately
  • History of diabetic ketoacidosis
  • Scheduled combination nephron blockade with loop and thiazide therapy as an outpatient for more than 7 days prior to admission (excluding HCTZ < 50mg for blood pressure)
  • Diffuse anasarca with 4+ edema and projected hypervolemia exceeding 40-pounds
  • Severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C)
  • Clinical picture consistent with acute myocardial infarction including troponin rise and fall or ischemic changes on electrocardiogram
  • Site investigator determines the subject is not a good candidate to participate in the study at this tine
