Conditions

Acute Heart Failure, Chronic Heart Failure, Diabetes Mellitus

Keywords

Canagliflozin, Hospitalized heart failure patients, I.V loop diuretic, NT-proBNP

Brief summary

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.

Detailed 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.

Interventions

DRUGCanagliflozin

Canagliflozin will be used in hospitalized heart failure patients regardless of their diabetic state.

DRUGEmpagliflozin

Empagliflozin will be used in hospitalized heart failure patients regardless of their diabetic state.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The cumulative mean of daily diuresisAfter (day1)24 hours from hospital admission and until Day 5 or discharge if earlierwhich is define as total urine output in 24 hours during the hospitalization period.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The change in the level of NT-pro BNPBaseline to hospital discharge, an average of 5-6 daysThe change in the level of NT-pro BNP between the hospital admission day and the day of discharge.
Presence of symptoms of congestion and dyspnea at dischargeBaseline to hospital discharge, an average of 5-6 days.measured via the change in visual analogue scale (VAS) dyspnea score between enrollment day and the discharge day. the score goes between 0-10 where 0 = no breathlessness to 10 = worst breathlessness possible.
Intensive care unit (ICU) length of stayBaseline to hospital discharge, an average of 5-6 daysmeasured as days from admission to ICU to discharge.
The incidence of worsening of heart failure caseBaseline to hospital discharge, an average of 5-6 days.which is defined as failure of IV diuretic regimen to stabilize the patient state during hospitalization which requires the use of IV inotropic therapy
Fractional Excretion of Sodium (FENa)-based diuretic efficiencyBaseline to hospital discharge, an average of 5-6 days.FENa per 40 mg of IV furosemide equivalents of loop dose using spot urine collected 24 hours after continues infusion of loop dose beginning and every day until patients discharge from hospital.
Serum potassiumBaseline to hospital discharge, an average of 5-6 days.Serum potassium covariate with attention to both elevation and depression on a daily basis during hospitalization period.
Incidence of ketoacidosisBaseline to 90 days post dischargereporting ketoacidosis
Measuring diuretic responseBaseline to hospital discharge, an average of 5-6 dayswhich is the cumulative change in weight (kg) from enrollment until discharge adjusted for cumulative diuretic dose in IV furosemide or equivalents
Incidence of symptomatic, sustained hypovolemic hypotensionBaseline to hospital discharge, an average of 5-6 days.systolic blood pressure \< 90 mmHg over 30 minutes requiring fluid administration
In-hospital mortalityBaseline to hospital discharge, an average of 5-6 days.incidence of mortality
Hospital readmission within 90 days of discharge for heart failurewithin 90 post dischargeRe-hospitalization within 90 days from hospital discharge
Incidence of mortality within 90 days from discharge due cardiovascular causewithin 90 post dischargeIncidence of mortality
The incidence of worsening of renal functionBaseline to 90 post dischargewhich is defined as a decline in the e-GFR of 50% or greater from the baseline during any follow-up points
Any reported adverse events during follow up period.within 90 post dischargeketoacidosis, genital mycotic infection, urinary tract infection, Fournier's gangrene, fractures, or amputation
The progression of heart failure severitywithin 90 post dischargevia measuring Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire - Total Symptom Score (KCCQ-TSS) .all KCCQ scores are scaled from 0 to 100 and frequently summarized in 25-point ranges, where scores represent health status as follows: 0 to 24: very poor to poor; 25 to 49: poor to fair; 50 to 74: fair to good; and 75 to 100: good to excellent
Serum glucose covariate adjusted for baseline with attention to both elevationBaseline to hospital discharge, an average of 5-6 days.(\> 400 mg/dL) and depression (\< 70 mg/dL).
