Best heart failure care for older patients with kidney disease
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests the best way to manage heart failure in older adults who also have kidney problems and high potassium levels. It compares different treatment strategies to see which one is safest and most effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 70 years or older
- You have heart failure that is stable (not in a crisis right now)
- You have been hospitalized for heart failure in the past
- You have chronic kidney disease (eGFR less than 60)
- You have a history of high potassium or current potassium levels between 5.1 and 5.9 mmol/L

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a medication (SZC) that helps lower high potassium levels, so you can keep taking important heart and kidney drugs (RAASi/MRA). It is for people with heart failure and chronic kidney disease who have high potassium.
This study tests whether adding a potassium-binding medicine (sodium zirconium cyclosilicate) helps patients over 70 with heart failure safely take higher doses of aldosterone-blocking drugs. These drugs protect the heart but can raise potassium levels, which this new approach may prevent.
This trial tests whether it is safe and effective to increase heart failure medications (like ACE inhibitors, ARBs, ARNIs, MRAs, or SGLT-2 inhibitors) without frequent kidney monitoring. It is for people with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction who are not yet on full doses of these medicines.
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 trial tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve daily activity and quality of life in people who have both heart failure and advanced kidney disease. It aims to help you feel stronger and function better.
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.
