Ultrasound-guided decongestion for heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to guide treatment that removes excess fluid from the body. It may help doctors tailor your heart failure care and improve how you feel.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have heart failure that is getting worse and need treatment to remove extra fluid.
- You are being treated for this in the hospital or at a heart failure infusion clinic.
- You are willing to receive short ultrasound scans of your belly and chest during treatment.
- You do not have serious kidney or liver disease, recent abdominal surgery, or unstable blood pressure.

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 study tests whether using ultrasound-guided treatment to reduce fluid buildup in the body can help people hospitalized for worsening heart failure feel better faster. It's for adults admitted with heart failure and high BNP levels.
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.
This study tests whether using a small ultrasound device at the patient's bedside (point-of-care ultrasound) can help doctors better manage fluid buildup in people with chronic heart failure. The goal is to see if this extra imaging helps guide treatment and improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether using lung ultrasound to guide decongestion treatment improves outcomes for patients hospitalized with congestive heart failure. It may help doctors tailor your care more precisely.
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound at regular visits can help guide care for people with heart failure. It may help doctors spot worsening fluid problems earlier, before symptoms become severe.
