Ultrasound-guided diuretics for heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a bedside ultrasound to guide diuretic treatment improves outcomes in people hospitalized for worsening heart failure. It may help find the right dose of IV diuretics faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with acute decompensated heart failure (a sudden worsening of heart failure symptoms)
- Your doctor plans to treat you with IV diuretics (water pills given through a vein)
- An initial bedside ultrasound of a neck vein shows a specific abnormal pattern
