Trial of limited vs normal drinking in heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether drinking a different amount of fluid (either more liberal or more restricted) is better for people with heart failure. You may be guided to follow one drinking plan and monitored to see how it affects symptoms and safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure where the heart’s pumping function is reduced (HFrEF) or mildly reduced (HFmEF)
- You can physically and mentally take part in study activities and communicate in the required way
- Your heart failure cause is not something fixable or reversible (like certain thyroid problems or severe anemia)
- Your blood sodium is not too low (baseline sodium must be 130 mmol/L or higher)
- Your kidney function is enough for the study (eGFR must be 30 or higher)
- You do not have planned major heart procedures soon (within 3 months) and no heart attack within the last 3 months

This trial tests a new way to manage fluid levels in people hospitalized for heart failure. It aims to help doctors adjust treatment to keep you from coming back to the hospital.
This study looks at how your kidneys handle salt and water when you're treated for acute heart failure in the hospital. Researchers want to understand which patients recover well from fluid buildup and which might need different treatment approaches.
This trial tests a device to help the kidneys remove excess fluid in people hospitalized for worsening heart failure who are not responding well to standard diuretic (water pill) therapy. It aims to improve heart and kidney function.
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 tests a new way to guide fluid removal (decongestive therapy) in people hospitalized for heart failure. It aims to help doctors safely reduce fluid buildup, no matter what type of heart failure you have.
This study looks at how metabolic changes, diet, and lifestyle patterns affect heart failure. It may help find ways to improve symptoms and health by targeting diet and daily habits.
