How fluid buildup affects sleep apnea in heart failure
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how excess fluid in the body affects sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) in people hospitalized with heart failure. Researchers will measure sleep apnea before and after treatment to reduce the fluid, which may help doctors better manage both conditions together.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are currently in the hospital being treated for heart failure with fluid overload
- You have heart failure (either with reduced or preserved heart function)
- Your doctor has prescribed water pills (diuretics) as part of your treatment
- You can wear a small wrist device overnight to measure your sleep apnea
- You are willing and able to provide informed consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) to check for signs of high blood pressure in the lungs in people with obstructive sleep apnea. It aims to see how often this occurs and may help detect heart issues earlier in OSA patients.
This study is improving how doctors classify obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where your breathing stops and starts during sleep). It focuses on sleepiness and heart-related risks to help guide treatment. If you are 40 or older and have untreated OSA, you may be able to join.
This trial looks at how obstructive sleep apnea (OSA, a breathing problem during sleep) relates to heart outcomes in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). It may help doctors better predict risk and choose safer care for people who are high cardiovascular risk.
This trial studies whether CPAP treatment can improve blood pressure in people with obstructive sleep apnea. It aims to find out who benefits most from CPAP in terms of blood pressure control.
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects your heart and blood vessels over time. It uses a sleep study and heart tests to see if certain measurements can predict heart health changes.
This study looks at different patterns of fluid buildup in people with acute heart failure. It aims to understand how these patterns relate to treatment with water pills (diuretics) and may help improve care.
