Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Effect of empagliflozin 10 mg once daily on cardiac output in comparison to placebo after 1 day, 3 days and 12 weeks of treatment (measured with a noninvasive monitoring [ClearSight System]).;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): Effect of Empagliflozin 10 mg once daily on systemic vascular resistance in comparison to placebo after day 1, day 3 and 12 weeks of treatment (measured with a noninvasive monitoring [ClearSight System]);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: day 1, day 3 and 12 weeks | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Most important secondary analysis: - Stroke volume (SV) - Stroke volume variation (SVV) - Resting energy expenditure (REE) (measured by indirect calorimetry [CardioCoach CO2]) - respiratory exchange rate (RER) measured by indirect calorimetry [CardioCoach CO2]) - Blood pressure - Sodium excretion in 24 h urine collection (osmolarity, sodium, potassium, creatine, chloride, creatine-clearance, protein, urea nitrogen, magnesium, phosphate, glucose, calcium, uric acid) - Body weight - Heart rate - NT-proBNP and cystatin C - Serum levels of chloride, glucose, HbA1c, glucagon, insulin, total-ketone bodies, ß-hydroxybutyrate, aldosterone and free fatty acid - Serum osmolarity - Change in left ventricular function between baseline and after 12 weeks as determined by 2D and 3D parameter global Strain Rate E - Change in left ventricular diastolic function between baseline and after 12 weeks as determined by standardized parameter E/é and left atrial (LA) volume - Change in left ventricular systolic function by ejection fraction (EF) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: day 1, day 3 and 12 weeks | — |
