Summary

This study tested whether adding leg compression to standard diuretic treatment helps people hospitalized with heart failure and severe fluid buildup. 106 adults received either diuretics alone or diuretics plus leg compression for up to 72 hours. Researchers measured changes in urine sodium, weight, leg swelling, and congestion scores to see if compression improves fluid removal.
