Heart failure patients may get a new diuretic boost
NCT ID NCT06285760
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a drug called acetazolamide (used for glaucoma) to standard heart failure treatment helps people with acute heart failure pass more urine and salt. Researchers will measure urine output over 24 hours in 64 hospitalized adults who still have fluid buildup despite taking furosemide and SGLT2 inhibitors. The goal is to see if this combination works better at reducing congestion.
