Article Synopsis
- Heart failure is a leading cause of hospitalizations in elderly patients, particularly those with diabetes, who may have increased risk factors for heart function decline.
- A study assessed the impact of adding dapagliflozin to furosemide in 100 type 2 diabetic patients with decompensated heart failure, focusing on outcomes like weight loss and improvement in dyspnea.
- Results showed significant benefits from dapagliflozin in terms of weight and fluid loss, along with better patient-reported breathing scores, without affecting kidney function or potassium levels.
