Managing fluid buildup in heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to manage fluid buildup in patients with a specific type of heart failure (HFpEF) who are in the hospital. It aims to improve how doctors remove excess fluid and help you feel better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a type of heart failure called HFpEF.
- You are currently in the hospital with worsening heart failure and need IV diuretics (medicines to remove extra fluid).
- You do not have cardiogenic shock or need strong medicines to keep your blood pressure up.
- You have not had a heart transplant or a ventricular assist device.
- You do not have a pacemaker, ICD, or CRT-D device.
- You do not have severe kidney disease (creatinine clearance under 20 ml/min).
- You have not had a heart attack or bypass surgery in the last 3 months.

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 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 evaluates how well doctors can assess “fluid congestion” in people with chronic heart failure where the heart’s squeezing is still preserved. It may help improve how patients are monitored during hospital visits.
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 study looks at how well we can measure leftover fluid in the body in people hospitalized for heart failure with fluid overload. It aims to help doctors better manage treatment and improve recovery.
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.
