Inclusion Criteria

1. Male or female >18 years of age;
2. Hospitalized for AHF; AHF is defined as including all of the followings measured at any time between presentation (including the emergency department) and the end of screening:
a. Dyspnea at rest or with minimal exertion
b. Signs of congestion, such as edema, rales, and/or congestion on chest radiograph
c. BNP *350 pg/mL or NT-proBNP *1,400 pg/mL (for patients with AF: BNP*500 pg/mL or NT-proBNP *2,000 pg/mL)
d. Treated with loop diuretics at screening
3. Able to be randomized within 24 hours from presentation to the hospital
4. Able and willing to provide freely given written informed consent
5. eGFR (CKD-EPI) *30 ml/min/1.73m2 between presentation and randomization

Exclusion Criteria

1. Diabetes Mellitus Type I
2. Dyspnea primarily due to non-cardiac causes
3. Cardiogenic shock
4. Acute coronary syndrome within 30 days prior to randomization
5. Planned or recent percutaneous or surgical coronary intervention within 30 days prior to
randomization
6. Signs of keto-acidosis and/or hyperosmolar hyperglaecemic syndrome (pH>7.30 and glucose >15 mmol/L and HCO3>18 mmol/L)
7. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women
