Study on fluid congestion in acute heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are currently in the hospital with acute heart failure and have signs of fluid buildup (like swelling or shortness of breath).
- You need to receive a type of water pill called a loop diuretic through an IV.
- You are able to understand and agree to take part in the study.
- You do not have severe kidney problems that require dialysis or ultrafiltration.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This trial tests if dapagliflozin or acetazolamide works better for people hospitalized with heart failure who have extra fluid in their body (congestion). The study will compare how well each medication helps remove fluid when used with standard IV diuretics.
This trial tests whether using belly pressure and bedside ultrasound can help doctors better manage fluid removal (decongestion) in people hospitalized with heart failure. The goal is to see if this approach leads to better outcomes.
This trial is for people hospitalized with heart failure and signs of fluid overload, such as swelling or fluid in the lungs. It aims to check if patients still have extra fluid when they go home, which may help improve their recovery.
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 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.
