What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on adult patients with congenital heart disease who are experiencing heart failure. It aims to evaluate the effectiveness of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in managing heart failure symptoms and improving patient outcomes. The study includes patients who have initiated SGLT2i therapy within the last year or are starting it at the time of the visit, specifically targeting those with NYHA class II, III, or IV heart failure. The research is conducted at the University Hospital of Nice, leveraging the French social security system for patient registration.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with congenital heart disease and clinical heart failure classified as NYHA class II, III, or IV.

Not a fit: Patients who oppose the use of their data will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve heart failure management and outcomes for patients with congenital heart disease.

How similar studies have performed: While SGLT2 inhibitors have shown promise in heart failure management, this specific application in congenital heart disease is relatively novel and less explored.
