Heart failure emergency: which drug works best first?
NCT ID NCT05276219
First seen Apr 28, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tests whether a drug that widens blood vessels (nitrates) works better than a standard water pill (furosemide), or if using both together is best, for people with sudden fluid buildup in the lungs from heart failure. About 1,100 adults with severe shortness of breath and low oxygen levels will be randomly assigned to one of three treatments in the emergency room. The goal is to see which approach keeps people alive and out of the hospital for more days over the next month.
