Testing Diuretic Strategies for Worsening Heart Failure
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares different approaches to giving water pills (diuretics) intravenously to patients with heart failure who are getting worse despite taking daily diuretics at home. The goal is to find the best strategy to reduce fluid buildup and improve symptoms in an outpatient clinic setting.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with chronic heart failure
- You are currently taking a daily loop diuretic (water pill) at home
- Your heart failure is worsening and you need IV diuretics in an outpatient clinic
- You show signs of fluid buildup (congestion) that doctors can see or measure
- You are able to follow study procedures and give written consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if using ultrasound to guide fluid removal (diuretics) can improve outcomes for people hospitalized with acute heart failure. It might help doctors personalize your treatment based on how much fluid your body is holding.
This trial tests a new way to adjust diuretic (water pill) doses based on urine sodium levels in patients hospitalized for worsening heart failure. The goal is to improve fluid removal and get patients home sooner.
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 different water pill (diuretic) strategies for people hospitalized with acute heart failure and too much fluid. It is designed for patients who may not respond well to standard water pills, to find a more effective way to relieve symptoms.
This trial tests whether adding an oral water pill (acetazolamide) to standard IV furosemide helps people with acute heart failure who have fluid overload. It aims to see if the combination improves outcomes better than furosemide alone.
This trial tests if adding acetazolamide (a water pill) to your usual heart failure treatment can help you lose extra fluid and relieve symptoms. It is for patients recently hospitalized or seen urgently for heart failure worsening.
