Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • SGLT2 inhibition effects on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF).

    To measure the effects of Empagliflozin on cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with type 2 diabetes and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction or systolic heart failure. The effects on CRF are determined by measuring changes in peak VO2 (mL/kg/min) and the VE/VCO2 slope.

Study Population

Patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction or Systolic Heart Failure.

You may qualify if:

  • Confirmed clinical diagnosis of stable HF (NYHA class II-III) on maximally tolerated HF medical regimen including angiotensin-inhibitors, beta-adrenergic blockers, and loop diuretics
  • Reduced left ventricular systolic function (LVEF\<50%) documented in the prior 12 months
  • Poorly controlled T2DM (HbA1c levels between 6.5% and 10.0%)
  • years old and older.

You may not qualify if:

  • Type I diabetes;
  • Type II diabetes with episodes of severe hypoglycemia \<50 mg/dl by history, frequent changes in anti-diabetic regimen class in the past 3 months or with a prior episode of diabetic ketoacidosis (any time);
  • Open label treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors (within the past month);
  • Treatment with thiazolidinedione (within the past month), which may induce volume and sodium retention;
  • Chronic Kidney Disease (GFR\<45 ml/kg\*min);
  • Uncontrolled thyroid dysfunction (TSH\<0.4\>4.5 mcIU/ml);
  • Pregnancy or of child-bearing potential;
  • Active or recent (within 2 weeks) genital/urinal infection;
  • Concomitant conditions or treatment which would affect completion or interpretation of the study including physical inability to walk or run on a treadmill such as decompensated HF (edema, NYHA class IV), significant ischemic heart disease, angina, arterial hypotension (BP systolic \<90 mmHg), orthostatic arterial hypotension, arterial hypertension (resting BP systolic \>160 mmHg), atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response, severe valvular disease, severe chronic obstructive or restrictive pulmonary disease, moderate- severe anemia (Hgb\<10 g/dl);
  • Abnormal BP or heart rate response, angina or ECG changes (ischemia or arrhy- thmias) occurring during baseline cardio-pulmonary exercise testing;
  • Chronic use of oral corticosteroids;
  • Inability to give informed consent.
