Read our Heart Failure research guide →Phase 4 — The treatment has already been approved. Researchers are tracking how it works in a large number of people over time.
When your heart can't pump well, fluid builds up in your body — causing swelling, shortness of breath, and other serious symptoms. Doctors treat this with water pills (diuretics) to help remove the extra fluid. This trial is testing whether measuring the amount of salt in your urine and adjusting your water pill dose based on that measurement works better than the standard approach of doctors guessing at the right dose.
Right now, doctors adjust water pill doses based on experience and judgment, which can be hit-or-miss. This trial wants to see if a more precise, salt-based approach — where doctors check your urine and quickly increase your dose if needed — helps you get better faster and have fewer complications.

You will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: either a standard water pill dosing approach or one of two approaches where doctors measure the salt in your urine 2–4 hours after giving you IV diuretics and adjust your dose if needed. If you're in one of the measured urine groups, this salt-checking and dose-adjusting process will continue for the first 72 hours of your hospital stay. You'll receive regular hospital care and monitoring throughout.
