METHODS
• We randomly assigned 6263 patients with heart
failure and a left ventricular ejection fraction of
more than 40% to receive dapagliflozin (at a dose
of 10 mg once daily) or matching placebo, in
addition to usual therapy.
• The primary outcome was a composite of
worsening heart failure (which was defined as
either an unplanned hospitalization for heart
failure or an urgent visit for heart failure) or
cardiovascular death, as assessed in a time-to-
event analysis.
• Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2)
inhibitors, which were originally developed as
glucose-lowering agents for the treatment of type
2 diabetes mellitus, reduce the risk of death and
other adverse outcomes among patients with
chronic heart failure and a reduced ejection
fraction (i.e., a left ventricular ejection fraction of
≤40%) and in those with chronic kidney disease,
regardless of the presence or absence of type 2
diabetes mellitus.
• Current clinical guidelines strongly
recommend the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in
patients with chronic heart failure and a
reduced ejection fraction.
SAFETY
• Overall, serious adverse events, including
death, were reported in 1361 patients (43.5%)
in the dapagliflozin group and in 1423 patients
(45.5%) in the placebo group .
• Adverse events that led to discontinuation of
dapagliflozin or placebo were reported in 182
patients (5.8%) in the dapagliflozin group and
in 181 patients (5.8%) in the placebo group.
