Exclusion Criteria
  • Contraindications to empagliflozin, Sitagliptin
  • DPP4 inhibitors or Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2(SGLT2) inhibitors within the previous 4 weeks

  • Radiopaque material implanted in the chest wall (metal, silicone, etc.)
  • Contraindication to adenosine stress test
  • Any clinically significant abnormality identified at the screening visit, physical examination, laboratory tests, or electrocardiogram which, in the judgment of the Investigator, would preclude safe completion of the study.
