The main purpose of this study is to observe hemodynamic effects of initiating sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with acute decompensated heart failure.
The exact mechanism of cardiovascular benefit from SGLT2i continues to be the source of further research. The investigators hypothesize that heart failure patients with acute decompensated heart failure will similarly benefit from the SGLT2i-associated natriuresis and diuresis. This mechanism should improve invasive hemodynamics during an inpatient ICU stay. This is a prospective, randomized controlled study to assess cardiac benefit of SGLT2i in 40 consecutive patients admitted to University of Chicago Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CCU) Advanced Heart Failure Service. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to one of two routine care arms: treatment with an SGLT2i \[dapagliflozin 10 mg daily\] or no SGLT2i. After randomization, your SGLT2i and heart failure care will be managed according to routine care, and the investigators will collect the subject's medical data. The patient's treating physician will be able to override randomization assignment if they determine that the assignment is not in the patient's best interest.
