Hospital study for fluid buildup in heart failure with preserved heart function
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how well doctors can assess fluid buildup before you leave the hospital if you have a type of heart failure called “preserved ejection fraction.” It may help improve decisions about when and how safely people are discharged.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being hospitalized for sudden (acute) heart failure and may be discharged soon
- You have a heart ultrasound finding called preserved ejection fraction (FE of 50% or higher)
- You are 18 years or older and can understand the study and sign consent
- You have kidney function good enough for the study (not on dialysis, and kidney filtering isn’t extremely low)
- You are not pregnant, and you can safely undergo the study procedures
- You don’t have certain major lung conditions that would prevent reliable lung ultrasound images

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people hospitalized for worsening heart failure with weaker pumping (reduced ejection fraction). It tests whether a lung ultrasound evaluation near discharge can improve how doctors decide it is safe to send you home.
This study looks at whether doing lung ultrasounds can better assess people right before they leave the hospital after an acute heart failure flare. It may help doctors decide when someone is ready for discharge and tailor care to reduce risk after leaving.
This study looks at different patterns of fluid buildup in people with acute heart failure. It aims to understand how these patterns relate to treatment with water pills (diuretics) and may help improve care.
This study evaluates how well doctors can assess “fluid congestion” in people with chronic heart failure where the heart’s squeezing is still preserved. It may help improve how patients are monitored during hospital visits.
This study looks at people with chronic heart failure with weaker pumping function and checks how well a lung/heart ultrasound can assess congestion (fluid buildup). If you qualify, you may help test a better way to evaluate your condition during a planned hospital visit.
This study looks at people with long-term worsening heart failure who are coming to the hospital for a planned visit, to see how checking “congestion” (fluid buildup) may guide care. It may help the team understand whether lung ultrasound can better assess who needs treatment changes.
