Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) frequently develop hyperuricemia, an elevated serum uric acid level, associated with adverse outcomes. Dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, demonstrates reduction in cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization in patients with CHF and ejection fraction (HFrEF), irrespective of diabetes. However, dapagliflozin's effect on the uric acid levels in patients with CHF and hyperuricemia remain unclear.
