Empagliflozin Impact on Hemodynamics in Patients With Heart Failure

Summary

The primary purpose of this trial is to evaluate the impact of empagliflozin, as compared with placebo, on hemodynamic parameters (pulmonary artery diastolic pressure) in patients with heart failure (reduced or preserved ejection fraction, ischemic or non-ischemic etiology) who already have a CardioMEMs device (a wireless hemodynamic monitoring system) implanted for non-study related clinical reasons.
