Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Aim of this study is to investigate whether empagliflozin could improve heart failure (HF) of T2DM patients with HFpEF (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction). Severity and improvement of HF is evaluated by oxygen uptake efficiency (Peak VO2) obtained during the submaximal portion of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), which is one of the most reliable and accurate parameter of HF severity.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary objectives are to explore underlying mechanism and relevant factors contributing to cardioprotection of empagliflozin by evaluating the following changes at the start of the study and 12 weeks later such as: anaerobic threshold (AT; testing by CPET), BNP, NYHA, LVEF and RVEF(by MRI), muscle mass by body composition test (by In Body 770K), grip strength and ower extremity muscle strength, BDNF, and L-FABP.
