Using bioimpedance to guide fluid therapy in heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to manage fluid buildup in patients hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It uses a simple, non-invasive tool (‘bioimpedance’) to help doctors better balance your fluids, which could help you feel better and recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are currently in the hospital because of a heart failure ‘flare-up’ (decompensated heart failure).
- You are able and willing to give your permission (consent) to join.
- You are not receiving palliative care or expected to live less than 3 months.
- You are not in the intensive care unit or on life-support.
- You are not already in another trial for a new heart failure drug or treatment, and you do not need dialysis.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests a small, portable device worn on the chest that measures changes in fluid levels in your lungs to help detect early signs of fluid buildup (pulmonary congestion). This could help people with heart failure avoid emergency hospital visits.
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 study is looking for people with heart failure to help find better ways to measure fluid buildup (congestion). It involves extra blood tests or a short procedure called a right heart catheterization. The goal is to improve how doctors manage heart failure.
This trial tests a new tool to help doctors better manage heart failure treatment. It may be for patients who need IV diuretics for fluid buildup, either in the hospital or at home to avoid hospitalization.
This trial tests a method to better manage fluid levels in critically ill patients who are receiving a type of dialysis (CVVH) for kidney failure. It uses a device (bioelectrical impedance) to measure fluid in the body, which may help doctors give the right amount of fluids more safely.
