Recruiting NA Acute Heart Failure (AHF)

Compares treatment options for Acute Heart Failure (AHF)

Official title Restrictive Versus Liberal Fluid Intake in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07400991

What this study is testing

What it's testing
The aim of this clinical trial is to learn whether a thirst-driven, liberal fluid-intake strategy is comparable to a fluid-restriction strategy in patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). The study will also assess the safety of the intervention and its effects on thirst and quality of life.
