Common steroid tested to calm heart failure Flare-Ups

NCT ID NCT05916586

Summary

This study tested if adding a short course of the steroid prednisone to usual emergency care could help patients hospitalized for sudden heart failure. Researchers wanted to see if prednisone could reduce body-wide inflammation, which is often high during these episodes. They compared 101 patients who received either standard treatment alone or standard treatment plus prednisone for one week.
