About

The study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of the early initiation of canagliflozin treatment in hospitalized heart failure patients with volume overload (warm-wet) who require the use of I.V loop diuretic during the hospitalization period.

Full description

The study will focus on the role of adding canagliflozin to I.V loop diuretic therapy early in unstable hospitalized acute heart failure patients regardless of diabetic state, patients who will be included in the study will continue on canagliflozin for 3 months after hospital discharge to evaluate the incidence of re-hospitalization, mortality rate and other benefits related to HF symptoms will be investigated.

Enrollment: 142 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 65 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

Randomized within 24 of presentation during hospital admission for hypervolemic ADHF with evidence of congestion defined by the presence of any of the following signs or symptoms:

Peripheral edema Ascites Jugular venous pressure > 10 mmHg Orthopnea Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea 2.5 kg weight gain Signs of congestion on chest X-ray or lung ultrasound If pulmonary artery catheterization is available pulmonary capillary wedge pressure > 19 mmHg plus a systemic physical examination finding of hypervolemia.

Planned use of intravenous (IV) loop diuretic therapy during the current hospitalization Estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR) > 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 based on the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation.

142 participants in 2 patient groups

Group A(Intervention group)

Experimental group

Description:

patients will receive 100 mg canagliflozin initiated within 24 hours from patients hospital admission due to signs of hypervolemic state. All patients also will be prescribed the conventional diuretic therapy and other medications such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), beta-blockers, angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs). Canagliflozin will be continued for 90 days after hospital discharge

Treatment:

Drug: Canagliflozin

Group B

Active Comparator group

Description:

patients will receive 10 mg Empagliflozin initiated within 24 hours from patients hospital admission due to signs of a hypervolemic state.All patients also will be prescribed conventional diuretic therapy and other medications including ACEIs, ARBs, beta-blockers, ARNI, and MRAs.Empagliflozin will be continued for 90 days after hospital discharge

Treatment:

Drug: Empagliflozin
