Heart ultrasound to predict outcomes in hospitalized heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) to predict outcomes in people hospitalized for sudden heart failure. If you are receiving IV fluid-removing medication, the results may help your doctors understand your condition better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are in the hospital for sudden or worsening heart failure.
- Your doctor has decided you need IV (intravenous) medicine to help remove extra fluid.
- Your heart failure mainly affects the left side of your heart.
- You do not have severe anemia, severe valve problems, or need dialysis.

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 trial studies how to better assess and manage risk in people hospitalized with heart failure or related serious heart problems. It may help by improving how clinicians monitor your condition over time and decide next steps.
This study tests whether a 3D ultrasound of the heart gives better information than a standard 2D ultrasound in people with heart failure. It aims to improve how doctors measure heart function, which could help guide treatment.
This study uses a heart ultrasound to see if it can help doctors predict when patients in the ICU are ready to have their breathing tube removed. It may help avoid failed extubations and reduce complications.
This study looks at people with chronic heart failure with weaker pumping function and checks how well a lung/heart ultrasound can assess congestion (fluid buildup). If you qualify, you may help test a better way to evaluate your condition during a planned hospital visit.
This study uses a special heart ultrasound to look at how well the heart's upper chambers are working. It aims to predict the chance of serious heart issues in the next 6 months for people who had a certain type of heart attack (NSTEMI).
