New device could help doctors better manage fluid in heart failure patients
NCT ID NCT05240651
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 50 adults hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure who need intravenous diuretics (water pills). Researchers want to see if a non-invasive monitor called the Starling System can accurately measure changes in heart function as fluid is removed. The goal is to improve how doctors assess fluid status and guide treatment.
