Biomarkers for fluid buildup in heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is looking for people with heart failure to help find better ways to measure fluid buildup (congestion). It involves extra blood tests or a short procedure called a right heart catheterization. The goal is to improve how doctors manage heart failure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of heart failure (any type).
- You are either: having a right heart catheterization, in the hospital needing IV diuretics, or getting a CRT pacemaker fitted.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding (if applicable).
- You do not have other serious conditions like severe lung/liver disease, certain cancers, or a recent heart attack.

This study looks at blood markers and body composition in people hospitalized for heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced heart function. It aims to understand inflammation and fluid status better.
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 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 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 trial studies how to better assess and manage risk in people hospitalized with heart failure or related serious heart problems. It may help by improving how clinicians monitor your condition over time and decide next steps.
This study tests a new way to manage fluid buildup in patients hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It uses a simple, non-invasive tool (‘bioimpedance’) to help doctors better balance your fluids, which could help you feel better and recover faster.
