Hospital Diuretic Therapy and Associated Risk of Heart Failure in Treating Fluid Volume Overload

Overview

About this study

The objective of this proposal is to assess blood-plasma volume (TBV-PV) status quantitatively in patients with DHF admitted to hospital for volume management, and to determine how effective standard diuretic therapy is in achieving euvolemia and the impact of their quantitated volume status at the time of hospital discharge on heart failure related morality and re-hospitalizations. Thus, to determine if quantitative blood volume analysis could potentially serve as an effective tool to guide more effective in-hospital diuretic therapy to achieve better outcomes in patients hospitalized with clinically identified volume overload.
