Best way to increase heart failure medicines in hospital
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at the best strategies to gradually increase ("up-titrate") common heart failure medicines while you’re still in the hospital. It may help doctors find safer, more effective ways to reach target doses after acute heart failure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were admitted to the hospital for sudden (acute) heart failure more than 72 hours ago
- In the 24 hours before enrollment, your blood pressure was at least 100 and your heart rate at least 60
- In the hospital, your last potassium level was 5.0 or lower
- In the hospital, your last NT-proBNP test was above 1,500
- You were not yet taking the heart failure medicines at high enough doses (ACEi/ARB/ARNI, beta-blocker, and MRA) as defined by the study
- You can sign informed consent

This trial tests if a personalized medication plan can improve health in women hospitalized with heart failure. It aims to find the best treatment combinations for better recovery.
This trial tests if starting finerenone early helps patients hospitalized with heart failure who have symptoms like shortness of breath or swelling. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective when given soon after admission.
This trial tests a new, faster way to increase heart failure medications during a hospital stay, aiming to get patients on the right doses sooner. It is for people with weak heart pumping (ejection fraction 40% or less) who are currently in the hospital for heart failure and are on low doses of standard medications.
This study tests whether patients whose heart failure has improved can safely reduce some of their medications. If your heart function has recovered significantly and stayed stable, this trial explores whether you can gradually lower doses of heart failure drugs while staying healthy.
This study helps doctors adjust heart failure medications based on your individual response and biomarkers (blood markers). If your heart isn't pumping well enough and you're not yet on the full recommended dose of heart failure medications, this trial may help optimize your treatment plan.
This trial tests a program to manage heart failure at home after you leave the hospital. It aims to safely adjust your medications to optimal doses while you recover at home.
