Could a pinch of salt be the key to better heart failure treatment?
NCT ID NCT04334668
Summary
This study is testing if giving salt tablets by mouth helps hospitalized heart failure patients lose more fluid when they are also receiving strong IV water pills (diuretics). Researchers want to see if this approach helps patients lose more weight from excess fluid and protects their kidney function better than a placebo. The goal is to find a safer, simpler way to manage severe fluid buildup compared to current methods.
