Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To determine the effectiveness of dapagliflozin as a treatment for acute heart failure in reducing the combined primary endpoint: a composite of 30-day all-cause mortality and 30-day re-admission in patients presenting to the medical emergencyTimepoint: 30 days

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin in reducing the length of hospital stay. To evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on the symptomatic relief of acute heart failure, particularly focusing on the severity of dyspnea as assessed by the dyspnea visual analogue scale between day 1 and day 5. To assess the impact of dapagliflozin on percent changes in pro-BNP levels at admission and on the fifth day or at discharge. To evaluate the diuretic efficiency of dapagliflozin expressed in terms of the requirement of the cumulative dose of loop diuretics. To assess the adverse effects of dapagliflozin over standard treatment in acute heart failure Timepoint: Day 5 or at discharge
