Study Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of empagliflozin versus placebo on top of guideline-directed medical therapy in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Primary Outcome

Time to the first event of adjudicated cardiovascular (CV) death or adjudicated hospitalisation for heart failure (HHF). The incidence rate per 100 patient years (100 \* number of patients with event /time at risk \[years\]) is presented. With time at risk \[year\] calculated as: Sum of time at risk \[days\] over all patients in a treatment group / 365.25. Patients without a specific endpoint event were censored at the last date the patient was known to be free of the event or at the end of the
