Abstract
Although sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors reduce the risk of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure (HF) in patients with chronic HF, there are limited data on initiation in hospitalized patients with HF. DAPA ACT HF-TIMI 68 (Dapagliflozin and Effect on Cardiovascular Events in Acute Heart Failure – Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 68) is an international, randomized, double-blind trial evaluating the initiation of dapagliflozin (10 mg daily) vs placebo in 2,401 patients hospitalized for acute HF. Patients were enrolled irrespective of left ventricular ejection fraction, type 2 diabetes status, or chronicity of HF (de novo and worsening chronic HF). Randomized participants receive blinded treatment for 2 months. The primary efficacy endpoint is time to first occurrence of cardiovascular death or worsening HF (worsening HF during the index admission, rehospitalization for worsening HF, or urgent HF visit). Key safety endpoints include symptomatic hypotension and worsening kidney function. This is the first cardiovascular outcomes trial designed specifically to evaluate the efficacy and safety of in-hospital initiation of dapagliflozin in patients hospitalized for the management of acute HF.

期刊介绍:
JACC: Heart Failure publishes crucial findings on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and care of heart failure patients. The goal is to enhance understanding through timely scientific communication on disease, clinical trials, outcomes, and therapeutic advances. The Journal fosters interdisciplinary connections with neuroscience, pulmonary medicine, nephrology, electrophysiology, and surgery related to heart failure. It also covers articles on pharmacogenetics, biomarkers, and metabolomics.
