Effect of Dapagliflozin Versus Placebo on Symptoms and 6-Minute Walk Distance in Patients With Heart Failure: The DETERMINE Randomized Clinical Trials

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors reduce the risk of worsening heart failure (HF) and cardiovascular death in patients with HF irrespective of left ventricular ejection fraction. Dapagliflozin did not improve these outcomes in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction.
