Congestion and lactate at discharge in heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a simple test (lung ultrasound and a blood test for lactate) done right before you leave the hospital for heart failure. It aims to see if these tests help doctors know how well you are recovering and if you might need extra care after discharge.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are in the hospital for acute heart failure (worsening of your condition).
- Your medical team has decided you are ready to go home within 24 hours.
- You do not have a severe active infection or septic shock at discharge.
- You do not need high-flow oxygen or a breathing machine at the time of discharge.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people hospitalized for worsening heart failure with weaker pumping (reduced ejection fraction). It tests whether a lung ultrasound evaluation near discharge can improve how doctors decide it is safe to send you home.
This study looks at whether doing lung ultrasounds can better assess people right before they leave the hospital after an acute heart failure flare. It may help doctors decide when someone is ready for discharge and tailor care to reduce risk after leaving.
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 looks at people with long-term worsening heart failure who are coming to the hospital for a planned visit, to see how checking “congestion” (fluid buildup) may guide care. It may help the team understand whether lung ultrasound can better assess who needs treatment changes.
This study checks whether short-term follow-up blood test results after you leave the hospital can predict how you do with heart failure. It may help doctors choose better follow-up and treatment plans based on your early test trends.
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.
