HerningAges 18 years+ - NCT06586008Recruiting
Heart failure ultrasound and recovery study
This trial uses a special ultrasound scoring system to see how well people with a certain type of heart failure (weak heart pumping) are doing. It looks at whether this score can predict how their recovery goes.
Semarang, Central of JavaAges 18–70 - NCT06898515RecruitingPhase 3
Fluid removal study for acute heart failure patients
This trial tests a device designed to safely remove extra fluid from patients hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It may help those who are not responding well to standard water pills (diuretics).
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT07372040RecruitingPhase 2
Adding a Water Pill for Heart Failure in the Hospital
This trial tests if adding a diuretic (water pill) called acetazolamide to usual care can help you get rid of extra fluid faster while you are in the hospital for worsening heart failure.
TantaAges 18 years+ - NCT05802849RecruitingPhase 4
Oral acetazolamide for worsening heart failure
This trial tests whether taking acetazolamide by mouth can help prevent or improve worsening (decompensation) of heart failure after you needed IV water pills (diuretics). It’s mainly for adults with a recent heart-failure flare and specific heart/lab signs, while carefully excluding certain low blood pressure, kidney issues, and electrolyte or acid–base problems.
SamaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06535529RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing Two Water Pills for Worsening Heart Failure
This study compares two medicines—acetazolamide and dapagliflozin—to see which works better at removing extra fluid in people hospitalized for worsening heart failure. It may help decide the best treatment for fluid overload.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07219511RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of VS-041 for heart failure with preserved pumping strength
This trial tests an investigational drug called VS-041 to see if it's safe and helps people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It may be an option if you are 50 or older and have stable heart failure symptoms.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 50 years+ - NCT06414759RecruitingPhase 4
Combination diuretic therapy for heart failure fluid overload
This trial tests a combination of water pills (diuretics) to help remove extra fluid in people hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure (sudden worsening of heart failure). It aims to find a safe and effective way to reduce swelling and fluid buildup.
Giza, GZAges 18–65 - NCT07682298Recruiting
Measuring leftover fluid in hospitalized heart failure patients
This study looks at how well we can measure leftover fluid in the body in people hospitalized for heart failure with fluid overload. It aims to help doctors better manage treatment and improve recovery.

Ear cartilage stimulation for sudden heart failure worsening
This trial tests whether a gentle stimulation near your ear (on the tragus, a small ear area) can help people whose heart failure has recently gotten worse while in the hospital. If it works, it may improve symptoms and recovery during this acute phase.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–80 - NCT05677100Recruiting
Aortix device for acute heart failure
This trial is testing a small pump placed in the aorta to help the kidneys remove extra fluid when standard IV diuretics aren't working well enough for severe heart failure. It may help you if you're hospitalized and still very congested (swollen, fluid buildup) despite strong water pills.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 21 years+ - NCT02973633RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Heart failure MRI brain-wave images after heart trouble
This early-phase study uses a special MRI scan to look at the heart in people with heart failure (and related heart changes). It aims to see whether these MRI results can better characterize heart disease and help doctors understand what’s going on.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT03103932Recruiting
Blood test–guided discharge for people hospitalized with heart failure
This trial checks whether using a blood test (a “biomarker”) can help doctors decide when it’s safe to send people home after a hospital stay for worsening heart failure. It may help reduce avoidable readmissions while keeping you safe.
