First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how SGLT2 inhibitors, a type of diabetes drug also used for heart failure, affect the body's metabolism. About 40 adults with mild to moderate heart failure will have blood tests, walking tests, and calf MRIs before and after starting the medication. The goal is to understand early changes in energy use and muscle function, not to test a new treatment.
