Jardiance for congestive heart failure: pros and cons?

@bettycll in your shoes I'd probably not want to take another SGLT-2 drug either, with the evidence you have of the drug adversely affecting your kidney function, so much that your nephrologist took you off the drug. It's hard to imagine your cardiologist wanting you to take a drug that affects your kidney that way, if he/she knew of the effects of the drug on your kidney. You might have that talk with your cardiologist, and see what he/she says.
Are you taking other drugs for your heart failure?

No, I am not taking any other drugs for heart failure. I take Metoprolol, but I have been taking that prior to knowing about the HF. My cardiologist added Lasix - but I only take it every other day, due to balancing kidney issues with cardiac issues. I had been on multiple meds for my AFib (nothing worked). After an AV Node Ablation, I am now off those. I do plan to talk with my cardiologist. My nephrologist wants to wait for 3 months to see how things progress; then she may update her decision about the SGLT-2 because they ARE supposed to be helpful to the kidneys. It is difficult balancing multiple health issues and multiple specialists! As you can probably tell from my 'name', I am also seeing an oncologist! Thanks for sharing your time and experience.
