Reducing fluid buildup in heart failure patients at discharge
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 trial studies whether drinking less fluid (restrictive) vs. the usual amount (liberal) helps people hospitalized with heart failure. It aims to find out which approach leads to better recovery and fewer symptoms.
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 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.
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.
