简要总结
To assess the effect of Empagliflozin on cardiac biomarkers, cardiac function at rest and during stress, cardiac hemodynamics, renal function, metabolism, daily activity level and health-related quality of life in stable, symptomatic heart failure patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction.
The primary hypothesis is that 3 months' treatment with Empagliflozin 10 mg a day will reduce the plasma concentrations of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP).
