Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Combination therapy of finerenone plus empagliflozin will be compared to usual care to determine the efficacy and safety of treatment in patients hospitalized with heart failure.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an international, randomized, controlled, open-label, trial of an early, intensive management strategy using the combination of finerenone plus sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) compared with usual care in patients hospitalized with heart failure (HF).
