Response - NO
Brief Summary  

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized open-label, active controlled study. 250 patients of T2DM with CHF will be enrolled in the study. Patients would be randomised under 2 arms- Remogliflozin and Empagliflozin and would be followed for 24 weeks. Mean change in NT proBNP, changes in ECHO parameters, NYHA functional classification will be evaluated from baseline till Week 24
