Guided diuretic therapy for acute heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a urine test to guide diuretic (water pill) dosing helps people recover better from acute heart failure in the hospital. It compares the usual approach with a more personalized, urine-guided strategy.
