Fluid-guided heart failure treatment study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 years or older and can speak and read English.
- You are currently in the hospital for worsening heart failure with fluid buildup.
- You do not have severe, constant symptoms at rest (NYHA class IV).
- You do not plan to get a heart transplant or a heart pump in the next year.
- Your kidney function is not severely low (eGFR below 25) on dialysis or not responding to water pills.
- You are not regularly receiving intravenous heart failure medicines at home.

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 tests a device to help the kidneys remove excess fluid in people hospitalized for worsening heart failure who are not responding well to standard diuretic (water pill) therapy. It aims to improve heart and kidney function.
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 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 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.
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.
