Can a quick ultrasound keep heart failure patients out of the hospital?
NCT ID NCT07096726
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will test whether a five-point ultrasound can better predict fluid overload in 200 patients hospitalized with congestive heart failure. Doctors will use the ultrasound results to guide diuretic treatment and track readmission rates over 30 and 90 days. The goal is to see if this approach reduces repeat hospital visits compared to standard care.

Active substance
five-point ultrasound
What this could lead to
If successful, this could give doctors a better tool to guide fluid removal in heart failure patients, potentially reducing hospital readmissions.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The ultrasound method may not prove better than standard care, and results may not apply to all patients.
