NCT ID NCT07439159

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether early heart ultrasound results can predict which patients hospitalized with heart failure will need to return to the hospital or have a higher risk of death. Researchers will measure heart structure and function before starting IV diuretics in 76 adults. The goal is to improve how doctors assess risk and make treatment decisions for these patients.
