Summary

This study tests whether adding macitentan to the standard drug dapagliflozin improves outcomes for people with heart failure and a specific type of high blood pressure in the lungs. 64 adults in South Korea will take either the combo or dapagliflozin alone for 24 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in lung pressure, heart strain, walking ability, and quality of life.
