Brief Summary:
The objective is to study in a prospective, interventional, single arm, cohort study the potential synergistic diuretic effect of empagliflozin, in addition to furosemide, in hypervolemic patients admitted with acutely decompensated heart failure and diuretic resistance at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC).
The investigators hypothesize that the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor empagliflozin will enhance the diuretic effect of furosemide in patients with acutely decompensated heart failure, moderate to advanced chronic kidney disease, and underlying diuretic resistance, as identified by the three-hour urine output post diuretic administration on the first day of the study, compared with furosemide alone.
