Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with Dapagliflozin (DAPA) for 6 months will improve pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) during exercise in heart failure/preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and improve cardiac metabolism.
Interventions
10 mg orally once a day
Taken orally once a day, the placebo looks identical to the study drug but it contains no active ingredient
