Newest Acute Decompensated Heart Failure clinical trials
All recruiting trials (14)
-
Evaluating a noninvasive tissue sensor to detect cardiogenic shock earlier in heart patients
This pilot, noninvasive study tests whether the NIRSense wearable can help detect deterioration in adults with cardiogenic shock risk due to heart attack or heart failure.
-
BEAT-SHOCK: Baseline Registry for Acute Cardiogenic Shock at Basel
This registry collects and shares data on adults with cardiogenic shock admitted to University Hospital Basel to help understand how these patients are treated and how they fare.
-
Daily lung ultrasound to see if it shortens hospital stays for adults with acute decompensated heart failure
This study tests whether daily lung ultrasound can shorten hospital stays and reduce readmissions for adults with acute decompensated heart failure.
-
Adding extra diuretics to standard care for acute decompensated heart failure
This trial will test whether adding empagliflozin, acetazolamide, or metolazone to loop diuretics helps adults hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure remove fluid and feel better.
-
Acetazolamide versus metolazone added to usual diuretics for acute decompensated heart failure
This trial will test whether adding acetazolamide or metolazone to standard diuretics works better and is safer for adults hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure.
-
Fluid removal with the Reprieve System for acute decompensated heart failure
This trial will test whether the Reprieve System removes excess fluid more effectively than standard IV diuretics in adults hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure who are at risk for diuretic resistance.
-
Using ultrasound to guide treatment for heart failure patients
This study is testing if using ultrasound to guide treatment can help hospitalized heart failure patients feel better by managing fluid buildup in their bodies.
-
Using the Reprieve System to relieve heart failure symptoms
This study is testing if the Reprieve System can help relieve symptoms for people in the hospital with acute heart failure.
-
Early comprehensive rehabilitation for patients with acute decompensated heart failure
This study is testing if a 6-week rehabilitation program that includes exercise can help improve the quality of life for people with acute heart failure compared to regular care.
-
Registry of patients with acute cardiovascular disease in a cardiac intensive care unit
This study is looking at patients with serious heart conditions in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit to see how they do during and after their hospital stay.
-
Evaluating the Nephronyx System for treating acute heart failure
This study is testing a new system called Nephronyx to see if it can help hospitalized patients with acute heart failure who are struggling with fluid buildup and not getting better with regular treatments.
-
Education tailored to your health literacy to help follow heart-care instructions after a heart attack or heart failure
This trial tests whether an educational toolkit adapted for people with limited health literacy helps patients hospitalized for a heart attack or worsening heart failure follow medical recommendations and avoid readmission.
-
Non-invasive stimulation of the tragus to reduce inflammation in heart failure patients
This study is testing if a new way of stimulating a small nerve in the ear can help reduce inflammation and improve heart function in patients with severe heart failure.
-
Investigating blood proteins related to heart failure
This study is trying to see if two specific proteins in the blood can help identify when people with heart failure are having a worsening episode.
NIH-funded research (2)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
Using deep learning to improve lung ultrasound assessments for heart failure in emergency patients
This study is looking at how to make it easier and faster for doctors in the Emergency Department to check for heart failure in patients by using smart technology to analyze lung ultrasound images, helping you get the care you need more quickly.
-
Investigating kidney injury in patients with acute heart failure
This study is looking at how kidney problems happen in people with heart failure and aims to find new ways to spot these issues quickly, so doctors can make better treatment choices and help patients feel better.
