Ultrasound study for heart failure fluid removal
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing whether belly and chest ultrasounds can help doctors better manage fluid removal in people with worsening heart failure. It may help your care team adjust your treatment to make you feel better faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being treated for heart failure that has gotten worse and you need help removing extra fluid.
- You are willing to have short ultrasound scans of your belly and chest during your hospital stay or clinic visit.
- You have not had abdominal surgery in the past month.
- You do not have severe liver disease, end-stage kidney disease on dialysis, or a recent heart attack.

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 a new way to guide fluid removal (decongestive therapy) in people hospitalized for heart failure. It aims to help doctors safely reduce fluid buildup, no matter what type of heart failure you have.
This trial studies a treatment that removes extra fluid through a catheter placed in the abdomen (peritoneal ultrafiltration) for people with “cardio-renal syndrome” (heart and kidney problems together). It may help those who stay congested despite high-dose water pills (diuretics) and have certain heart circulation and fluid signs.
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 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.
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.
